Inibehe Effiong, a Nigerian human rights lawyer and activist shares the harrowing details of Alabi Quadri's sojourn in detention since January, despite being below 18 years old.

"We were at the Magistrate Court of Lagos, Apapa Magisterial District, today the 9th day of April, 2025 to ascertain the facts and circumstances that led to the arrest, detention and subsequent remand of Alabi Quadri at the Minimum Security Custodial Centre, Kirikiri, Apapa, Lagos."

"After spending several hours at the court, I was accompanied by a colleague from our law firm, Alabi’s mother and other family and relatives to visit Alabi at the custodial centre. Also in attendance was the social activist who brought the case to public attention."

"Given the interest expressed by of the public, it is necessary to make this preliminary statement."

"We can confirm that Alabi has been in detention since January."

"He was abducted by ‘Area Boys’ close to his home while returning from work."

"According to Alabi and his mother, his painful walk to prison can be attributed to the prolonged malice nursed by some self-acclaimed area boys of his locality who felt entitled to a share of the unexpected fortune that came Alabi’s way when he halted and stood in front of the convoy of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. PeterObi during the last electioneering campaign. "

"Since he failed to properly “settle” some people, it has been one attack to another."

"After abducting Alabi, the same area boys who have been threatening to deal with him for not sharing the money he was gifted dragged him to the Amukoko Police Station (Pako Police Station) where he was detained."

"The area boys initially claimed that Alabi was one of the young men who has been involved in street fights."

"However, it came as a rude shock when the Police took him before a Magistrate along with four other individuals who are complete strangers to him, alleging that he conspired with them to commit “Armed Robbery” with cutlasses."

"The Police in the charge sheet alleged that the alleged two victims were robed of money and four mobile phones."

"The value of both the physical cash and four phones is N579,000 only."

"I spent about two hours interviewing Alabi about the veracity of the charges brought by the police. Speaking objectively, we all left Kirikiri with a strong conviction that this gentleman is just another victim of Nigeria’s criminal justice system."

"The last point that we want to state on the record is that Alabi is a Minor. He is less than 18 years."

"Currently, Alabi has appeared before the Magistrate on three occasions."

"The court remanded him along with the four strange individuals who are all adults at the custodial centre pending Legal Advice by the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP)."

"We shall provide additional information and the available legal options subsequently. Suffice it to say that we will do all that is legally permissible to secure Alabi’s freedom."

"Thank you for your kind attention."

They envy the boy because he was blessed by obidents. If he was IGBO, they will call him IPOB..ESN..

But

Madridguy
Legendhero

Etc etc etc

Are shouting MANDATE on empty stomachs and pushing propaganda with empty destinies.

This life sef.

The little boy fought this injustice by ing a good man, but lost when bad people snatched it.

After the story of his incanceration hit the media space less than 72 hours ago and was reported here, concerned citizens took it upon themselves to look into this situation and the following ensued:

👉A visit was made to the Magistrate Court in Apapa on April 9, 2025, regarding Alabi Quadri's arrest and remand.

👉Alabi was visited at the Kirikiri Custodial Centre by legal representatives, family, and a social activist.

👉Alabi has been in detention since January 2025.

👉He was abducted near his home by local area boys while returning from work.

👉The abduction stemmed from unresolved tensions after Alabi stood before Peter Obi’s convoy in 2023.

👉Area boys, angry over not receiving money from Alabi, falsely accused him and took him to the police.

👉He was wrongfully charged with armed robbery alongside four strangers.

👉The alleged robbery involved N579,000 in cash and mobile phones.

👉Alabi appears to be a victim of Nigeria’s flawed justice system.

👉Alabi is a minor, under 18 years old.

👉He has appeared in court three times and remains remanded pending DPP’s legal advice.

👉Legal efforts are ongoing to secure his release.

This is absolutely making me short of words

😲😲😲

This is too pathetic, i hope the boy gets justice

From the stories so far, he was on his own, area boys saw him and demanded he share something with them because he stood in front of Peter Obi's convoy, for that reason he was taken to the police station, police without any form of evidence locked him up since January and he doesn't have a family member or neighbor to say Alabi don't have any relationship with the said area boys.
The irony of this whoIe situation is that Nigerians always share stories based on what aligns with their sentiments, if the police, the judiciary and the area boys come to tell this same story, you will hear something different from this.
Whatever it is should be addressed and deaIth with hastily.

They should leave the boy alone and transfer their anger to the certificateless mandate thief who frustrated their lives with starvation

Area boys told him to share his money with them.

The area boys took him to police station because he refused.

Then the police detained him without any investigation.


But what can I say, those that believe that Buhari was cloned because it aligns with their gossips can believe anything.

Tell this story to an slowpoke.... Fake...

Is that all you can say in this heart broken story?

Sincerely speaking most of you are heartless and like Dele Farasotimi said, Tinubu's government has exposed a lot of people.

Devil's incarnates.

The irony of this whole thing is that u Iots are the ones making n0isè about it, u will get tired in less than a week.

Alabi Quadri is a common criminal, not a political prisoner.
