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.
