"There is a Supreme Court judgment which clarified the issue of seeking permission from police before embarking on any public meeting, so police had no right to stop us from exercising our right. We are Nigerians and citizens of Kano, therefore we should be allowed to exercise our civic right because we are entitled to freedom of public gathering,
