 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable.

SIERRA LEONE TO TAKE IN HUNDREDS OF WEST AFRICANS DEPORTED BY U.S.(PHOTO).


 Sierra Leone to take in hundreds of West Africans deported by U.S


Sierra Leone has agreed to take in hundreds of West African migrants who are being deported by the United States, its foreign minister told Reuters.


The first flight will arrive in Sierra Leone on May 20, Timothy Kabba said, transporting nationals from Senegal, Ghana, Guinea and Nigeria. He did not say how many deportees would be on the flight.


“Sierra Leone signed a Third Country National Agreement with the US to accept 300 ECOWAS citizens from the US per year with a maximum of 25 a month," Kabba said, referring to the West African regional bloc.


The US has previously sent deportees to African states including Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, South Sudan, and Eswatini.


Minister says deal 'part of bilateral relationship'


Sierra Leone's arrangement to accept only deportees from ECOWAS countries is similar to Ghana's.


It is unclear whether the deportees sent to Sierra Leone will be allowed to stay there. Kabba did not say what Sierra Leone would get in return for taking in the deportees.


“It’s part of our bilateral relationship with the US to assist with its immigration policy," he said.


In a report published in February, Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said the total cost of third-country removals was unknown, but that more than $32 million had been sent directly to five countries – Equatorial Guinea, Rwanda, El Salvador, Eswatini and Palau.
