The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has been ordered by a Federal High Court in Lagos to produce Afolabi Kazeem Micheal, a socialite known as 'KC Luxury', in court. This decision came after the NDLEA failed to formally charge and arraign him within the stipulated 14-day period following his arrest on August 18, 2026.
The arrest was made at the Lagos airport, where KC Luxury was allegedly attempting to flee the country with a 184.5kg cocaine consignment valued at approximately N39 billion. The order was issued following an ex parte application filed by KC Luxury's legal counsel, A. Labi-Lawal, SAN, under the Fundamental Rights Enforcement Procedure Rules, 2009.
