The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested more than 100 people after raiding Proxy Night Club on Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, where a drug party was reportedly underway.
According to NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi, the operation took place around 3:00 a.m. on Sunday following credible intelligence that a drug party was being organized at the venue. The club owner, Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu, popularly known as Pretty Mike, was among those arrested for screening.
During the raid, operatives recovered cartons of illicit substances, including Loud and laughing gas, from the club’s store.
In a related operation, NDLEA agents also intercepted 3.6 kilograms of cocaine concealed in body cream containers at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, en route to London. Two suspects linked to the consignment were later arrested after weeks of investigation.
NDLEA Chairman Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) commended the officers involved and urged continued vigilance in the agency’s fight against drug trafficking and abuse nationwide.
