Alleged Drug Trafficking: KC Luxury Challenges Court’s Property Order, Cites Fair Hearing Violation
Wale Igbintade Businessman and social media influencer Afolabi Michael Kazeem, popularly known as KC Luxury, has challenged the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court in Lagos over an interim order
Businessman and social media influencer KC Luxury, whose real name is Afolabi Michael Kazeem, has contested a Federal High Court's jurisdiction in Lagos concerning an interim order that safeguards his property. The rapper, who is on trial alongside two others for an alleged 184.5kg cocaine trafficking operation and money laundering, is requesting the court to dismiss the order, annul a September 25, 2026, ruling, and release the seized assets.
KC Luxury's lawyer, Chief Emefo Etudo, argued that the proceedings violated the constitutional right to fair hearing and that the court should first determine the jurisdiction before proceeding with other applications. The defence also alleged that the preservation order was obtained without providing KC Luxury a fair chance to present his case.
KC Luxury's wife, Adepeju Afolabi, testified in an affidavit that her husband was in critical condition, experiencing respiratory complications, and had been taken to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) and later the Police Hospital. The defence claimed that the NDLEA had begun steps to sell the properties covered by the preservation order.
