Court orders reopening of Pretty Mike's night club

Justice Lewis-Allagoa noted that the NDLEA failed to request a suspension of a prior ruling delivered on November 28, which formed the foundation of the December 5 order the agency sought to halt.

According to the judge, the omission weakened the agency’s case and made its argument unsuitable for the relief being sought.

The controversy dates back to the night of October 26, 2025, when NDLEA operatives stormed Proxy Night Club in a widely publicised operation and arrested Pretty Mike alongside more than 100 patrons over allegations of drug-related offences.

Those arrested were arraigned in court days later, where they all pleaded not guilty before being granted bail on November 7.

The NDLEA subsequently asked the court to grant a temporary forfeiture of the club, arguing that it was linked to illegal drug activities. The court refused, citing the constitutional principle that suspects remain innocent until proven guilty and ordering that the club be unsealed.

The court also approved an application for substituted service in a contempt case filed against the NDLEA Chairman for allegedly failing to obey court directives.

Justice Lewis-Allagoa cautioned the agency to comply fully with all orders of the court, noting that no institution is above judicial authority.

With this decision, Proxy Night Club is free to reopen while the case continues at the appellate level. Proceedings in the main criminal matter are scheduled for February 9 and 10, where the court is expected to address the charges more substantively.
