By Afolabi Nelson

Popular Lagos socialite and nightclub owner Mike Nwalie, better known as Pretty Mike, was on Thursday arraigned before the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, over alleged drug-related offences.

Nwalie, who owns Proxy Lagos Night Club in Victoria Island, was charged alongside the club’s supervisor, Joachim Hillary (32). The case was brought by the Federal Government through the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Both defendants face a three-count charge of conspiracy, illegal possession of drugs, and allowing the use of the club for drug-related activities.

According to the NDLEA, the charges stem from a October 26, 2025 operation at the nightclub, where agents allegedly discovered 200 grams of cannabis sativa and 177 cylinders of nitrous oxide (laughing gas), weighing about 364.6 kilograms.

The court proceedings were presided over by Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa.
