NDLEA raids Lagos club, arrests 100 plus, Pretty Mike over drug party

Key Points

• NDLEA storms a Victoria Island club during an alleged drug party. Officers recover “loud” and nitrous oxide canisters.

• Over one hundred guests go into custody for checks at the command. Owners and staff face fresh questioning today.

• An undercover team attends the event before the night raid. The spokesman says rules guide the 3 a.m. bust.

NDLEA operatives raided Proxy Nightclub on Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, in the early hours of Sunday. The agency said a drug party was underway when its team moved in. Socialite Pretty Mike (Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu) was among those taken in for screening.

NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi stated that officers embedded in the party from late Saturday disrupted the event at about 3 a.m. on Sunday.

He said “over 100” people were moved for checks while the club premises were searched. For context, see our report on recent NDLEA airport seizures.

What NDLEA says happened

Babafemi said the operation followed firm intelligence on a planned drug party at the venue. He added that the team acted “based on standard operating procedures” after building a case overnight. Officers recovered cartons of suspected cannabis “loud” and canisters of laughing gas.

What was seized at the venue

The items were found on guests and in a store inside the club, according to the agency. NDLEA said the evidence would go for tests and safe keep. The command will decide next steps after the screening phase ends.

Next steps after the raid

Those in custody are being profiled to decide who faces charges. The club owner and key staff will also answer questions on control at the venue. A recent Lagos nightclub shooting case shows nightlife safety remains in sharp focus.

Background and timeline

The agency said undercover officers joined the party at about 11 p.m. on Saturday. The main disruption then came four hours later when backup arrived. NDLEA stressed that the raid aimed to curb open use of high-risk party drugs.

What we know so far

At the time of filing, NDLEA had not named charged suspects. The agency promised updates after interviews, tests, and evidence logs. The club has yet to issue a public statement on the raid.

NDLEA moves to seize Pretty Mike nightclub after drug party raid

Key Points

• NDLEA says it will seek a court forfeiture soon. The step targets venues that host drug-themed night events.

• Agents raided Proxy Night Club in Victoria Island. Officers arrested Pretty Mike and more than one hundred guests.

• Officials list cannabis Canadian Loud and laughing gas recovered. Screens continue to decide each person’s role and next steps.

The NDLEA says it will seize a Lagos nightclub. The move follows an alleged drug party raid overnight. Lagos socialite Pretty Mike (Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu) was arrested. Agents also held more than one hundred club guests.

NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi said the venue risks forfeiture. He warned night spots that host drug parties face loss. See our NDLEA raids Lagos club report for earlier details.

What NDLEA says will follow

The agency says confiscation will go through the courts. It calls drug parties criminal under the NDLEA Act. Clubs, halls, and landlords risk assets if found complicit. Parents and leaders should watch for harmful party plans.

How the Lagos raid unfolded

Undercover officers trailed the event from late evening. They moved in around 3 a.m. after surveillance work. Officers say they seized 384.882kg of cannabis and laughing gas. They also found Canadian Loud in boxes and bags.

The agency says suspects are screened to confirm roles. Most guests left after profiling sessions and brief counselling. Pretty Mike and his manager remain in NDLEA custody. Officials cite the quantity seized as part of grounds.

BBNaija star Tuoyo says he was among those detained. He claims force was used during the night operation. Read our Tuoyo alleges NDLEA beating claim for full context. NDLEA says all complaints will be checked and addressed.

The club sits on Victoria Island, a busy night hub. Proxy Night Club markets themed nights and celebrity draws. The raid has sparked debate about law and nightlife. Residents say tough rules help safety across the city.

Lawyers note any forfeiture needs proof before a judge. Courts may order short seals during active probes. Final orders follow hearings with evidence from both sides. The agency says due process will be respected throughout.

The NDLEA urges parents to guide teens and youths. It asks hosts to check bookings for risky party themes. The push forms part of a nationwide clampdown this month. Officials say more checks will hit major states next.

Pretty Mike may face charges depending on case screening. His manager Joachin Millary also remains under investigation. Lawyers could seek bail while the probe continues. Court dates should emerge once filings reach the registry.

For now, the club stays shut under NDLEA watch. Staff will answer questions as officers check the site. Local police units may support NDLEA during follow-ups. Neighbours say noise stopped after the overnight sweep.

Pretty Mike nightclub faces interim forfeiture order in Lagos

Key Points

• Federal High Court approves interim forfeiture of the property. Activities halt as officials continue their ongoing investigation.

• Agency alleges storage of nitrous oxide and cannabis on site. Seized items include 169 cylinders and 200 grams.

• Property sits at Akin Adesola on Victoria Island. NDLEA seeks to preserve assets pending full case review.

A Federal High Court in Lagos ordered interim forfeiture of Proxy Lagos Night Club. The venue is linked to entertainer Pretty Mike and sits on Akin Adesola, Victoria Island.

Justice Musa Kakaki granted the order after an ex parte motion by the NDLEA. The agency said the property was used to store laughing gas and cannabis. See our NDLEA raid at Proxy Lagos report for context.

What the agency alleged

Investigators alleged the club stored 169 cylinders of nitrous oxide. They also listed 200 grams of cannabis sativa found on site.

The affidavit said officers acted on credible intelligence in October. It claimed the venue was a base for a planned drug party.

Prosecutors told the court the order preserves the property during checks. They argued that no party would be prejudiced while probes continue.

The motion, dated late October, asked to suspend all club activity. It sought interim forfeiture to the Federal Government under the NDLEA Act.

According to filings, the premises belong to two named persons. The names listed were Mike Nwalie and Joachim Hillary.

The club, known as Proxy Lagos, is in the Victoria Island strip. The order covers the whole facility and its fittings for now.

What the order means now

An interim forfeiture is a holding step, not a final loss. It lets the state preserve assets while it reviews evidence.

Further hearings will decide whether a final forfeiture is justified. Until then, operations at the venue remain suspended.

The move follows earlier enforcement at the same address. Read our update on the seizure move on Pretty Mike nightclub for the background timeline.

Officials also warned nightlife spots about criminal use risks. They urged owners to keep strict checks on their spaces.

The court did not rule on guilt or liability at this stage. The case now turns on what investigators place before the judge.
