The Proxy Lagos Night Club, situated at 7 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, is the subject of a forfeiture action filed by the NDLEA. 200 grams of cannabis sativa and 169 cylinders (384.662 kilos) of nitrous oxide, also referred to as laughing gas, were reportedly stored there.
The property is owned by Mike Nwalie and Joachim Hillary, who allegedly utilized it as a base for distributing and storing illegal narcotics in anticipation of a scheduled drug party, according to the NDLEA.
As an instrument of crime under the NDLEA Act, the nightclub should be temporarily forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria, the NDLEA’s attorney requested in the motion ex parte dated October 27, 2025. Abdulahi maintained that obtaining an interim forfeiture order was required by law in order to protect the property while the inquiry was ongoing.
The NDLEA claimed to have acquired reliable information in October 2025 on plans for a sizable drug party at Proxy Lagos Night Club in an affidavit submitted by Nasiru Garba Bungudu, the Deputy Commander of Narcotics.
On October 26, 2025, it conducted a raid after surveillance and found 200 grams of cannabis sativa and 169 cylinders of nitrous oxide. According to the NDLEA, laboratory testing on the confiscated exhibits verified that they were controlled narcotics.
Justice Musa Kakaki of the Federal High Court in Lagos, after examining the motion and supporting documentation, issued an order for the temporary confiscation of the property and ordered that all club operations be halted until the inquiry was finished.
The case was postponed by the judge until January 28, 2026.
