Legit.ng recalls that Quadri was the center of attention during the 2023 election campaign when he stood in front of the convoy of Obi in Lagos state.

Following rife claims in the past few days about Quadri's imprisonment, prominent human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, visited the teenager at the Minimum Security Custodial Centre, Kirikiri, Apapa.

The legal practitioner confirmed that Quadri had been in custody since January 2025.

Apart from Tanko, other top Obidient members on the team who visited Quadri at the Lagos correctional centre include the interim director of mobilization of the Obidient movement Morris Monye; and social activist Moses Paul.
