AN Abuja High Court has declared as illegal, the directive by the police banning the rallies being held by the
#BringBackOurGirls campaigners over the abducted Chibok girls.
Former Police Commissioner in Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Joseph Mbu, who is now an Assistant
Inspector General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone 7, had issued the directive declaring the rallies illegal.
Although former Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Abubakar, distanced the Nigeria Police from
Mbu’s directive and said the people have a right to protest, the rights group sued Mbu and the police.
In a judgment yesterday, Justice Sunday Aladetoyinbo held that the right to freedom of association and
assembly was the bedrock of every democratic government and that the police has no right to ban Nigerians
from engaging in peaceful protest.
The judge praised the former IGP for overruling Mbu on the ban and abiding by the law.
The judge cautioned the group to be security conscious in staging peaceful gathering.
He refused the plaintiff’s application for award of N200 million as damages, following the ban.
Reacting to the judgment, Mbu’s lawyer, Simon Lough, said there was no victor, no vanquish in the judgment
and that the defendant would look at the judgment and might appeal the court’s decision on jurisdiction. thenationonlineng.net/new/chibok-girls-court-declares-ban-on-rallies-illegal/

If only you had spared three seconds to read the first three lines, you would have realised the title of the thread is in error. What the court said is that it is illegal for the police to ban the rallies for it violate freedom of movement and association.
