On Tuesday, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Jimoh Moshood, stated that the Lagos Police Command was unaware of the Department of Public Prosecution’s (DPP) advice recommending that Quadri Alabi not be prosecuted.
Moshood clarified that the Police had not received any information on whether the DPP’s advice involved granting bail, acquitting, or discharging Alabi.
He further emphasized that, according to their records, Alabi is 18 years old, contrary to widespread claims that he is 17.
Moshood shared these remarks during an interview on Channels Television’s “The Morning Brief.” His comments followed the recent release of Alabi from Kirikiri Prison by Apapa Magistrate Court, Court 9, located at Orege, Ajegunle—Sikiru Adagun Courthouse last Thursday. Alabi had been cleared of charges related to conspiracy to commit felony and armed robbery.
Alabi gained national attention during the 2023 general elections when he courageously stood in front of Peter Obi’s campaign convoy, becoming a symbol of bravery.
