Alleged drug offences: Court orders interim forfeiture of Pretty Mike’s night club

The Federal High Court in Lagos has granted an interim forfeiture order on Proxy Night Club, reportedly owned by popular socialite and entertainer Mike Nwalie, widely known as Pretty Mike.

Justice Musa Kakaki issued the ruling on Tuesday after considering an ex parte application filed by Buhari Abdullahi, counsel for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

The NDLEA said the club, located at No. 7 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, was being used to store and distribute 169 cylinders (384.662 kilograms) of nitrous oxide and 200 grams of cannabis, allegedly in preparation for a drug-themed party.

According to the agency, the raid was based on intelligence about the event, saying operatives reportedly infiltrated the nightclub and shut it down in the early hours to prevent further illegal activity.

More than 200 fun-seekers were arrested during the operation on October 26, 2025.

Ruling on the motion, Justice Kakaki granted the requests of the NDLEA suspending the club’s activities pending the conclusion of investigations. The court also adjourned the matter to January 28, 2026, for a report on the investigation.
