Advice was given to them to make sure QUADRI is well-taken care of, also more attention should be given to him because he is at the early stage of his life where everything does not feel right to him. QUADRI was advised not to think of leaving his parent’s house because he’s too young to be on the street. More so, he needs’ to find something reasonable to do with his life and be productive to himself and his society, especially his family.

Since he has returned home, the organizations’ follow-up team has been keeping a close watch on him to know how well he is doing.
