Court Strikes Out NDLEA Bid, Clears Pretty Mike’s Proxy Night Club To Reopen

Pretty Mike

The Federal High Court in Lagos has dismissed an application by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) seeking to stop the reopening of Proxy Night Club, the Victoria Island venue owned by Lagos socialite Mike Nwogu, popularly known as Pretty Mike.

Justice Ambrose Lewis Allagoa recently refused the NDLEA’s request for a stay of execution of the court’s December 5, 2025, order that directed the unsealing of the club pending appeal.

According to the judge, the agency did not show the special and exceptional circumstances required by law to halt the earlier ruling, and the NDLEA’s motion lacked enough merit to stand.

Justice Lewis added that none of the grounds in the NDLEA’s notices of appeal were strong enough to justify stopping the club’s reopening.

He said, “In the final analysis, the application is brought in bad faith, lacks substance and is devoid of merit.”

WOW.
