BREAKING: NDLEA Arrest Pretty Mike, 100 Others At Lagos Club
Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested over 100 suspects, including Lagos socialite and club owner Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu, popularly known as Pretty Mike, following a midnight raid at Proxy Night Club, located at 7 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The operation, which began in the early hours of Sunday, October 26, 2025, was launched after intelligence reports indicated that the venue was hosting a drug party.
In a statement on Sunday, the NDLEA said its officers recovered cartons of illicit substances, including Loud (a strong strain of cannabis) and laughing gas (nitrous oxide), from both partygoers and the club’s storage areas.
“NDLEA operatives, who were embedded at the party from 11:00 p.m. on Saturday, disrupted the gathering around 3:00 a.m. on Sunday in line with Standard Operating Procedures,” the statement read.
All arrested suspects were taken into custody for screening, while exhibits were secured as part of ongoing investigations.
In a separate operation, NDLEA operatives at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, intercepted 70 parcels of cocaine weighing 3.60 kilograms concealed inside cocoa butter body cream containers destined for London, United Kingdom.
The illegal shipment, discovered on October 14, 2025, during examination of cargoes labelled as “personal effects” on an Air Peace flight, led to the arrest of a cargo agent, Lawal Mustapha Olakunle, who presented the consignment.
Subsequent investigations spanning two weeks uncovered a wider drug network, resulting in the arrest of a female healthcare worker, Ogunmuyide Taiwo Deborah, on October 18, and Mutiu Adebayo Adebiyi, CEO of Mutiu Adebiyi & Co Travel Agency, at his Ikeja GRA office on October 20.
According to NDLEA, the suspects were linked to an organised attempt to smuggle the class A drug into the UK under the guise of cosmetics exports.
In Badagry, Lagos, Jacob Ojugbele was arrested with 55kg of skunk, and Amusa Oluwabukola with 121.3 litres of “skuchies”, a dangerous cocktail made from blackcurrant drink, cannabis, and opioids.
NDLEA operatives also arrested a mother of two, Oyonumoh Glory Effiong, described as a major distributor of Canadian and California “Loud” across Lekki, Ajah, Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and VGC.
She was apprehended on October 17 during a raid at her Lekki home, where 500 grams of Loud were recovered.
In Ikorodu, Lagos, NDLEA officers raided the residence of Ogunyabo Adenigbigbe at Solomade Estate, where 275 litres of skuchies were seized on October 23.
