The Magistrates’ Court sitting in the Apapa area of Lagos State has freed the 17-year-old boy, Alabi Quadri, who went viral ahead of the 2023 general election for standing in front of the convoy of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
The Magistrate, Adetola Olorunfemi, ordered the release of Quadri from the correctional centre on Thursday, April 17, 2025, following the legal advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Dr Babajide Martins.
The magistrate stated that the legal advice issued by the DPP 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 and another defendant, Muiz Animashaun.
Quadri and Animashaun were standing trial alongside three others for the offence of armed robbery.
However, the DPP recommended that a prima facie case had been made against the other three defendants and they should proceed to stand trial.
