Seventeen (17) year old Quadri Alabi, guy who came into national recognition after standing in front of Labour party’s presidential candidate Mr Peter Gregory Obi during the 2023 election campaign has narrated the humbling experience he had after being detained and subjected to faeces during his stay at the Kirikiri correctional facility in Lagos.
Alabi made this disclosure when he appeared as guest on “The Morning Brief” a Channels Television morning programme.
While narrating his ordeal, he said “Since the viral campaign picture surfaced, it seems like some people have been keeping a close watch on me.
“Someone even threatened my mum, saying that the money they have given me would be split in two, or else she wouldn’t see me again.
“They warned that they would kidnap me and take me somewhere.
“She couldn’t even use the money.
“On the day I returned from work as a motor boy, I had no idea that a fight had broken out in the area and that the police had already surrounded it.
“As I approached our house, some area boys grabbed me and handed me over to another, instructing them to take me to their station.
“I was just at the entrance of my house when the police came and arrested me.
“The area boys pointed me out.
“At the station, I was the youngest there.
“I was locked up with older men.
“They asked me what I did, and I said nothing.
“Before the arrest, the area boys had already taken my phone and the money in my pocket.
“In Kirikiri, my daily task was to clean up faeces from morning until six in the evening because I couldn’t afford to pay the marshall.”
