BREAKING: Teenager Who Stood in Front of Peter Obi’s Convoy, Freed After Being Framed for Armed Robbery

A 17-year-old teenager, Quadri Yusuf Alabi, has been discharged by a Lagos court after being wrongfully accused of armed robbery. Alabi gained fame in 2023 after he spontaneously stood in front of the convoy of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
According to reports, Alabi was abducted by “Area Boys” known as Lege and Baba Waris near his home in Amukoko, Lagos State, and taken to the Amukoko Divisional Police Headquarters.
The police claimed he was involved in street fighting before charging him with armed robbery alongside four strangers with no connection to him.
The case took a dramatic turn when the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Dr. Babajide Martins, found no evidence to substantiate the armed robbery allegations. The presiding Magistrate, His Honour, A. O. Olorunfemi (Mrs.), subsequently discharged Alabi.
Alabi’s lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, Esq., has demanded that the Nigeria Police Force pay N100,000,000.00 in compensation to his client, issue a public apology, and remove the DPO of Amukoko Divisional Headquarters.
“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’,” Effiong said.
Effiong also condemned the police’s actions, describing the case as “a painful example of the putrefying corruption, monstrous impunity, and pervasive injustice in the Nigeria Police Force.”
