How the Lagos raid unfolded
Undercover officers trailed the event from late evening. They moved in around 3 a.m. after surveillance work. Officers say they seized 384.882kg of cannabis and laughing gas. They also found Canadian Loud in boxes and bags.
The agency says suspects are screened to confirm roles. Most guests left after profiling sessions and brief counselling. Pretty Mike and his manager remain in NDLEA custody. Officials cite the quantity seized as part of grounds.

The club sits on Victoria Island, a busy night hub. Proxy Night Club markets themed nights and celebrity draws. The raid has sparked debate about law and nightlife. Residents say tough rules help safety across the city.
Lawyers note any forfeiture needs proof before a judge. Courts may order short seals during active probes. Final orders follow hearings with evidence from both sides. The agency says due process will be respected throughout.
The NDLEA urges parents to guide teens and youths. It asks hosts to check bookings for risky party themes. The push forms part of a nationwide clampdown this month. Officials say more checks will hit major states next.
Pretty Mike may face charges depending on case screening. His manager Joachin Millary also remains under investigation. Lawyers could seek bail while the probe continues. Court dates should emerge once filings reach the registry.
For now, the club stays shut under NDLEA watch. Staff will answer questions as officers check the site. Local police units may support NDLEA during follow-ups. Neighbours say noise stopped after the overnight sweep.
