 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. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance. NDC also fielded candidates, and fully pa...

WOMAN GIVES BIRTH ON BROOKLYN COURTROOM BENCH AFTER LABOR BEGINS DURING ARRAIGNMENT HEARING . (PHOTO).



Woman gives birth on Brooklyn courtroom bench after labor begins during arraignment hearing 


  A Brooklyn woman gave birth on a courtroom bench late Friday night, just hours after being discharged from a hospital, after going into labor during her arraignment on drug charges, according to police and witnesses.

The woman, identified as 33-year-old Samantha Randazzo, delivered a baby boy during the proceeding, with defense attorneys and court observers saying she gave birth “without adequate medical care, privacy, or dignity.” Her attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but later described the moment as both “joyful and sad,” while praising court officers who stepped in to assist as her labor progressed.

According to law enforcement, Randazzo was arrested Thursday evening after officers said they observed two people on a rooftop at a public housing complex with a controlled substance in plain view. She was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal trespass. Police said she did not initially disclose that she was pregnant and declined medical attention at the time of her arrest and intake.

Authorities said that early Friday morning, she later informed officers she was pregnant and reported experiencing drug withdrawal symptoms. She was taken to a hospital for evaluation and later discharged. Several hours after returning to court for her arraignment, she went into labor and delivered the baby shortly before midnight.

Emergency responders were called after the birth, and both mother and newborn were transported by medical personnel to a hospital for further care. Hospital officials have not provided additional details about her initial discharge prior to her return to court.

Public defender organizations that witnessed the delivery criticized the handling of the situation, calling for a formal review of custody protocols for pregnant individuals. They also raised concerns about reported comments made in the aftermath of the incident and urged a broader examination of how medical needs are addressed in the criminal justice system.

Officials involved have called for further review of the circumstances surrounding the arrest, hospital discharge, and court proceedings leading up to the birth.
