The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested Lagos socialite, Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu, popularly known as Pretty Mike, the owner of Proxy Night Club, along with over 100 guests during a midnight raid at the club over what the agency described as a ‘drug party’.
The NDLEA made this known in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, on Sunday, October 26, 2025.
“In Lagos, NDLEA operatives in the early hours of Sunday, 26th October, raided Proxy Night Club at 7 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, where a drug party was going on. Over 100 suspects, including the owner of the club, Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu, alias Pretty Mike, were arrested and taken into custody for screening.
“Cartons of illicit substances, including Loud and laughing gas, were recovered from suspects at the party and the club’s store,” the agency stated.
According to the agency, the raid followed intelligence about a drug party taking place at the club, located at 7 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island. Operatives, who had been embedded in the party since 11 p.m. on Saturday, October 25, disrupted the event around 3 a.m. on Sunday.
The NDLEA said the operation was carried out based on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and all those arrested are currently being screened to determine their level of involvement.
In a separate operation, NDLEA officers at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) uncovered 70 parcels of cocaine cleverly hidden in cocoa butter formula body cream containers bound for London, United Kingdom.
The illicit shipment, weighing 3.60 kilograms, was intercepted on October 14, during a routine examination of cargoes labeled as personal effects to be flown via Air Peace to London.
A cargo agent, Lawal Mustapha Olakunle, who presented the consignment for airfreight, was immediately arrested. Further investigations led to the arrest of two additional suspects, Ogunmuyide Taiwo Deborah, a healthcare worker, and Mutiu Adebayo Adebiyi, CEO of Mutiu Adebiyi & Co Travel Agency, who were allegedly connected to the export attempt.
In Ikorodu, Lagos, operatives recovered 275 litres of skuchies, a dangerous mix of black currant drink, cannabis, and opioids.
Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) commended the agency, the officers and men of MMIA, AIIA, Lagos, Kwara, Abia, Nasarawa, Kogi, Ondo, Anambra, Taraba, Kaduna, Seme and Zamfara Commands for the arrests and seizures. He urged them and their colleagues across the country to continue with the ongoing balanced approach to the drug control efforts of the Agency.
