National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) yesterday morning raided Proxy Night Club at 7 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, where a drug party was going on.
The agency arrested over 100 suspects including the owner of the club and Lagos socialite, Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu alias Pretty Mike.
NDLEA’s spokesperson Femi Babafemi said they were arrested and taken into custody for screening as cartons of illicit substances including Loud and laughing gas, were recovered from suspects at the party and the club’s store.
He said the raid followed intelligence about the drug party, and NDLEA operatives who were embedded in the party between 11pm on Saturday, October 25, however, disrupted the gathering at 3am on Sunday, October 26, based on standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Also, NDLEA’s operatives have uncovered a United Kingdom (UK)-bound cocaine in cream containers, and meth in a water heater.
Totalling 70 parcels of cocaine packed in walls of cocoa butter formula body cream containers heading to London, United Kingdom (UK), they were uncovered at the Export Shed of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos, with three suspects arrested in a series of follow-up operations across Lagos.
The cocaine consignments weighing 3.60 kilogrammes were discovered on October 14, 2025 during the examination of cargoes packaged as personal effects going to London, UK, on an Air Peace flight. A cargo agent, Lawal Mustapha Olakunle, who presented the consignment for airfreight, was promptly arrested while investigations stretching into two weeks led to the arrest of two principal suspects linked to the attempt to export the concealed Class A drug to the UK.
The NDLEA said in a follow-up operation on October 18, a female healthcare worker Ogunmuyide Taiwo Deborah, was arrested, following which Mutiu Adebayo Adebiyi, the chief executive officer of a travel agency, Mutiu Adebiyi & Co, was arrested at his 23, Ladoke Akintola Street, Ikeja GRA, Lagos office on Monday, October 20.

A total of 21,950 capsules of tramadol 250mg concealed inside a 100-litre water heater were recovered from a suspect, Umar Abubakar, 40, who was arrested by NDLEA operatives at Bode Saadu, Morro local government area of Kwara State, following credible intelligence on Tuesday, October 21.
