QUADRI ALABI, TEEN WHO STOOD IN FRONT OF PETER OBI’S CONVOY REGAINS FREEDOM FROM KIRIKIRI MONTHS AFTER BEING FRAMED FOR ARMED ROBBERY BY LAGOS POLICE

We are excited to announce that Quadri Yusuf Alabi, the 17-year old teenager who gained fame during the 2023 elections after he spontaneously jumped and stood in front of the convoy of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. @PeterObi, has been freed by the court today, 17th April, 2025.

Our client, Quadri was abducted by two ‘Area Boys’ who are notoriously known in the community as Lege and Baba Waris close to his family residence at Amukoko, Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government Area and dumped at the Amukoko Divisional Police Headquarters (Pako Police Station) in Lagos State.

Quadri was returning from work when he was grabbed by the duo, who along with other jealous and entitled Area Boys in the community, have been harassing him and threatening to deal with him since 2023 for not giving them ‘their share’ of donations gifted him during the last elections period.

Quadri’s family informed us that the Baale of the community equally pressured them to buy a cow and rice and cook for the community to appease the Area Boys.

The abductors initially told the officers at Amukoko Police Station that our client was involved in street fighting.

To the consternation of Quadri and his family, the police on 26th January, 2025 took Quadri before a Magistrate in Apapa, and obtained an order remanding him at the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kirikiri on a trumped-up charge of armed robbery.

The police fraudulently ed Quadri with four strange adults who had no form of connection or relationship whatsoever with him and claimed that the four strange men were his case mates.

As part of the diabolical frame-up of our client, the officers at Amukoko Police Station also misrepresented his age to be 18, knowing that disclosing his actual age would likely raise eyebrows.


When we were briefed by Quadri’s mother a week ago, after the matter was brought to public attention by Ms. Hassana Nurudeen, the Co-founder of Ray of Hope Prison Outreach (@Hausa_girl), we swiftly escalated the case and took necessary steps towards securing his freedom.

At the Court today, the presiding Magistrate, His Honour, A. O. Olorunfemi (Mrs.), confirmed that the legal advice issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), of the Ministry of Justice, Lagos State, Dr. Babajide Martins showed that there was no evidence to substantiate the allegation of armed robbery against Quadri.

In his Legal Advice, the DPP recommended the non-prosecution of Quadri. Thus, the presiding Magistrate discharged him and he was accordingly freed.

We commend the DPP for standing by the truth in this matter.

We demand that the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, and the Inspector General of Police, should as a matter of urgency, remove the DPO of Amukoko Divisional Headquarters and subject him to orderly room trial along with the IPO, one Inspector Odigbe Samuel, and other officers who participated in this evil, sinister, oppressive, and corrupt scheme of framing-up a teenager for armed robbery at the behest of rogue ‘Area Boys’.

We demand that the Nigeria Police Force should pay the sum of One Hundred Million Naira (N100,000,000.00) to our client as compensation.


Also, we also demand a public apology from the police.

If the above three remedial demands are not fully complied with immediately, we shall initiate legal actions to seek redress.


Quadri’s case is a painful example of the putrefying corruption, monstrous impunity, and pervasive injustice in the Nigeria Police Force.

There are many Quadris languishing in detention centres across Nigeria because of the unbridled criminality, lawlessness, and lack of ability in the Police institution and the weakness of the justice system.

History will vindicate the just.

Signed:

INIBEHE EFFIONG, ESQ.
(Lead Counsel).

He could have been jailed for years for no reason and nothing would be done about it



Why did the police force also assist in this corruption

That sultan is a disgrace to every enlightened Muslim. I won't be surprised if he is against technology. But the slowpoke was using a microphone to preach.

As I have said several times, Islam is a good religion, but many Muslims have turned themselves into brainless fanatics


It's you people that are carrying religion on your heads up and down

But why people are making life difficult for others unnecessary in this country?

I imagine thousands who are this type of cases, that are still pending, and in which innocent are languishing in jails for offences they MIGHT not even commit.


Naija is the hellfire they talked about in holy books.

Omo! Just imagine Nigerian police. I am so ashamed to be a Nigerian. So many others languishing in prison for offence they never committed. Nigerian police is the most corrupt and dirtiest in the world, no doubt.

Wicked government and see as they accused a minor because he ed another candidate. Then wonder what they would have done to an adult.
This government is inhuman and instead of prioritising working and development they are all around chasing people that speak against the government.
E be like say Seyi never still tell his papa.
