A Lagos popular entertainer and nightclub owner, Mike Nwalie, alias Pretty Mike, was granted ₦50 million bail on Thursday following his arraignment before the Federal High Court in Lagos over alleged drug-related offences.
Nwalie, who owns Proxy Lagos Night Club, was arraigned alongside the club’s supervisor, Joachim Hillary, 32, by the Federal Government of Nigeria through the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The duo appeared before Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa on a three-count charge bordering on conspiracy, unlawful possession, and permitting the use of the club premises for illegal drug activities.
The NDLEA’s prosecution counsel, Buhari Abdullahi, told the court that the offences were allegedly committed on or about October 26, 2025.
He said the offences took place at the club located at No. 7, Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The anti-drug agency accused both defendants of conspiring to organise a drug party at the nightclub.
During a subsequent operation, the NDLEA agents alleged that they recovered 200 grams of Cannabis Sativa and 177 cylinders of Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) weighing 364.662 kilograms in total.
Abdullahi told the court that the second defendant, Hillary, had in his possession 200 grams of Cannabis Sativa without lawful authority on or about October 25, 2025.
Pretty Mike, 45, was accused of allowing his club premises to be used for drug-related activities.
According to the prosecutor, the offences committed contravened Sections 14(b), 20(1)(c) and were punishable under Section 20(2)(b) and 12 of the NDLEA Act, Cap N30, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
