Key points
- Tuoyo says agents storm club at dawn with guns. He alleges they seized phones and moved guests to Ikoyi.

- Over 150 clubgoers face screening at Lagos command headquarters. Authorities will free those cleared after routine tests and interviews.
BBNaija Tuoyo says he was arrested during an NDLEA raid in Lagos. The reality star posted live updates from Proxy Nightclub as officers moved in. He alleged that more than 150 people were taken for screening.
In his clips Tuoyo said agents made clubgoers lie down. He also claimed they tried to take phones during processing. A recent ValidUpdates raid report detailed items seized at the venue.
Tuoyo insisted he committed no crime and only came to party. “This is the height of injustice,” he wrote on Instagram. He said the group was moved to the agency’s Ikoyi base.
What Tuoyo says happened
The clips showed scores of young people sitting on the ground. Some held bags while others looked on as officers stood nearby. Tuoyo said the raid began around 4 a.m. after music stopped.
What NDLEA has stated
NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi said the raid followed intelligence. He explained that officers embedded at the party waited for due process. Suspects would be screened, with those cleared released without charge.
Witness clips from the compound showed dozens waiting barefoot and tired. Some sat on the floor while officers checked names and tags. A Pretty Mike Lagos raid update sets out official notes and timelines.
NDLEA usually screens suspects with urine tests and short interviews. Those who test clean are released, sometimes on the same day. Cases proceed to court only when evidence links a person to drugs.
Fans debated the operation online as more clips spread across feeds. Some backed the clampdown while others worried about heavy tactics. This report will be updated as official statements and outcomes arrive.
Officials said they recovered canisters of laughing gas and bags of Loud. Such items draw questions during screening to decide possible offences. Possession counts depend on links, not on presence at a venue.
Tuoyo came to fame in BBNaija’s 2019 Pepper Dem season. He has since worked as a fitness coach and model. His fans flooded comments asking friends to confirm his safety.
ValidUpdates has asked the agency for a fuller account of events. We will update this report as we receive more replies. Readers should treat early claims with care until checks are complete.
Those held for screening usually give statements before being released to families. Lawyers can seek access once names are logged by the duty team. Tuoyo says he awaits that process while calling for fair treatment.
