However, the case slated for hearing on Thursday before the court three Judge, Justice S. A. Amobeda, has been adjourned for hearing to the 26th of March, 2025.

Speaking on the matter, the coordinator of the group  Abdulmajid Yakubu, explained how the police and the DSS violated their rights.

“You will recall that on the 30th of September 2024 six young Nigerian activists, namely, Comrade Abdulmajid Yakubu Daudu, Barr. Yusha’u Sani Yankuzo, Barr. Amina Bello, Comrade Anas Ado Ahmad, Comrade Sani Ibrahim Narogo and Comrade Abdullahi Adamu Mandawari, were abruptly arrested by the combined forces of the State Security Service (aka DSS) and the Police in Kano State and taken to Force Intelligence Department (FID), Abuja, and detained for two grueling days in connection with the 1st October #EndBadGovernance Protests.

“While in detention the six peaceful protest organizers were subjected to interrogations. Subsequently they were released as abruptly as they were arrested.

“Due to this violation of fundamental rights of the citizens by the authorities we have taken the case to the federal high court to seek justice.

 

“The respondents in the case are the Nigeria Police Force, Commissioner of Police Kano State, State Security Service (DSS) and Director of DSS Kano State,” he stated.

 

This fundamental rights suit with suit no FHC/KN/CS/41/2025 is currently before the Federal High Court (No.3) Kano with all the parties duly represented in court.

 

The adjournment was necessitated by counsels to the respondents who asked for more time to put their documents together.

 

Speaking further on the matter, the coordinator of the group explained the need for the case.

 

“Since then we have noticed that the protest space is narrowing in Nigeria.

 

“Citizens voice and media freedoms are under increasing threats of being silenced by regime authorities.

 

“In view of our commitment to upholding and asserting the constitutional rights of Nigerians and our own torturous experience in the hands of the regime, we, the 1st October protesters under the aegis of the umbrella movement the Nigeria Patriotic Front Movement (NPFM), have in our individual and collective capacities resolved to sue the Federal government of Nigeria for violating our rights to Freedom of Assembly, Association, and Expression and related consequences,” he added.
