The judgment was delivered on Thursday, July 24, 2025, by Justice M. Kakaki.

Justice Kakaki emphasized that although the police are authorized to maintain public order, their actions must comply with the rule of law and democratic principles. The judge affirmed that the protesters were lawfully exercising their constitutional right to peaceful assembly and association, as enshrined in Section 40 of the Nigerian Constitution. The applicants in the case included more than 20 individuals and three civil society organizations: the Education Rights Campaign (ERC), Take It Back Movement (TIB), and the Campaign for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR).
