“The ruling gave me the permit and the right to be here today. I didn’t come in here with police; as you are aware, policemen have been here to do their duty of guarding the premises. “By the grace of God, by Monday I am going to address the press here (NFF secretariat)” Giwa said

He was arrested shortly after the speech.
