The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested Lagos socialite and nightclub owner, Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu, popularly known as Pretty Mike.
The NDLEA also arrested former Big Brother Naija housemate Tuoyo Ideh, and over 100 other guests during a midnight raid on Proxy Nightclub, Victoria Island, Lagos.
According to a statement issued on Sunday by the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, cartons of banned substances, including Loud and laughing gas, were recovered during the operation, which took place in the early hours of Sunday, October 26, 2025.
Babafemi explained that NDLEA operatives, acting on credible intelligence, infiltrated the club around 11 pm on Saturday before storming the venue around 3 am on Sunday, following standard operating procedures.
"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. Cartons of illicit substances, including Loud and laughing gas, were recovered from suspects at the party and the club’s store.
"The raid followed intelligence about the drug party. NDLEA operatives who were embedded in the party between 11 pm on Saturday, 25th October, however, disrupted the gathering at 3 am on Sunday, 26th October based on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)," the statement read.
Confirming his arrest, Tuoyo Ideh took to Instagram on Sunday morning to announce his frustration, claiming he was detained "for doing nothing."
"I have been arrested by the NDLEA from a night club in Lagos for basically doing nothing at all since around 4 am, they made us sit down like criminals, we over 150 people here up till now, that were carried to NDLEA head quarters Ikoyi, we didn’t commit any crime, they came with guns inside and the club and told everyone to lie down," he said.
Efforts by newsmen to reach Pretty Mike for comment proved unsuccessful, as calls and messages to his known contacts went unanswered.
