The iconic photo of Yusuf Alabi in front of Peter Obi's convoy has gone up for sale on OpenSea.

In the now-viral photo, Alabi who is from Ibadan stood with his arms wide open in front of the Labour Party convoy in Lagos.

24 hours after the photo was taken, someone has allegedly gone ahead of the photographer and is attempting to sell it without the owner's permission.

The photo which has been widely shared across social media platforms has been listed on OpenSea for 0.5ETH or $760 which is approximately N349,000 on the official exchange rate.

However, Esther Umoh the photographer who said she originally took the photo has cried out on Twitter. She said she did not list the photo for sale and called on people to report the OpenSea account.
Her words:

"Putting up my work on OpenSea without my permission is really not a great thing to do. I don’t know who this person is. Out of 7 siblings, 4 are lawyers. Please act responsibly. I don’t like wahala."
