The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Sunday said it arrested Mike ‘Pretty Mike’ Nwogu and over 100 others at a drug party in Lagos.
In a statement, NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi announced that the arrests were made during a raid at Proxy Nightclub, 7 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
“In Lagos, NDLEA operatives in the early hours of Sunday, October 26, 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,” the statement said.
It added, “Cartons of illicit substances, including Loud and laughing gas, were recovered from suspects at the party and the club’s store.”
According to NDLEA, the raid followed intelligence gathered about the drug party, which it sent its men to observe as participants.
