Laravel Middleware : Call to a member function header() on array

In my project there are two levels of middleware.

One UserAuthentication, and another is PermissionsMiddleWare.

Suppose there is a route : 

Route::group(['middleware' => ['myauth', 'revalidate'], 'prefix' => '/user'], function () {
    Route::group(['middleware' => 'permissions:Campaigns'], function () {
      Route::resource('/dashboard', 'UserController@dashboard');
    }
}

Now in UserAuthenticationMiddleware:

     <?php
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    if ($request->session()->has('user_id')) {
        $user_id = $request->session()->get('user_id');
    } else {
        return redirect('loginUser');
    }

    $response = $next($request);
    return $response->header('Cache-Control', 'nocache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate')
            ->header('Pragma', 'no-cache')
            ->header('Expires', 'Fri, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT');

    return $next($request);
}

And in PermissionsMiddleware:

<?php
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next, $permission_name = "")
{
//login to get permission decision
    if (!$decision) {
// **Old process** of response
// return redirect('user/accessRejected')->with('message', 'Request rejected');
// **New process** of response
        return ['accessRejected' => true, 'message' => 'Request rejected'];
    }


    $response = $next($request);
    return $response->header('Cache-Control', 'nocache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate')
            ->header('Pragma', 'no-cache')
            ->header('Expires', 'Fri, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT');

    return $next($request);
}

Old process is working fine, and permissions middleware is restricting properly and redirecting to the page.

Now, as this is API side of project , so I cannot redirect to another page rather I need to response in JSON or array format.

When following the new process of response I am getting this error:

FatalErrorException in UserAuthenticationMiddleware.php line (this below code line):
-> return $response->header('Cache-Control','nocache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate')
            ->header('Pragma','no-cache')
            ->header('Expires','Fri, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT');
Call to a member function header() on array

Please give some light on this to know what is wrong in my code.

Instead of returning only the data we can use return response with data. Like this :

return response(['accessRejected'=> true, 'message'=>'Request rejected reason:' . $this->checkPermission]);       
 }

Then we can get the response properly.
