The Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the detention of luxury goods dealer and lifestyle influencer KC Luxury, along with two others, over allegations involving the attempted export of 184.5 kilogrammes of cocaine valued at about ₦39 billion. The three defendants, KC Luxury, Boniface Freeman Ochoche Sule, and Ikechukwu Ekugo Patriarch, were arraigned by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on a 22-count charge that includes conspiracy, trafficking in cocaine, unlawful export of narcotics, and money laundering.

The alleged shipment was intended to be sent to the United Kingdom between July 28 and August 1, 2026, and was allegedly concealed in five separate packages. The NDLEA alleges that the defendants worked with Atandare Oladipupo Oluwarotimi and Latifat Yusuf, who were subsequently arrested in London. The court has remanded the defendants in NDLEA custody pending trial.
