Former Big Brother Naija housemate Tuoyo Ideh has spoken out after being arrested alongside over 150 others during a late-night raid conducted by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at a Lagos nightclub.

The operation reportedly took place around 3 a.m. on Sunday, when NDLEA officers stormed Proxy Nightclub on Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, following intelligence about a suspected drug-related party.

According to Gossip News Now, among those apprehended was Lagos socialite Pretty Mike.

Tuoyo, who participated in the BBNaija Pepper Dem season, said he was taken into custody despite doing nothing wrong. Sharing his ordeal on Instagram, he revealed that the detainees were made to sit on the floor at the NDLEA headquarters in Ikoyi while their phones were confiscated.

Expressing outrage over the treatment, Tuoyo wrote:

“I have been arrested by the NDLEA from a nightclub in Lagos for basically nothing at all since around 4 a.m. They made us sit down like criminals. We are over 150 people here till now at NDLEA headquarters, Ikoyi. We didn’t commit any crime. They came with guns inside the club and told everyone to lie down. They want to take our phones now. This is the height of injustice.”

Confirming the raid, NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi said the operation followed undercover surveillance from around 11 p.m. on Saturday, leading to the recovery of substances like cannabis (loud) and nitrous oxide (laughing gas) from the venue.

Babafemi added that all individuals present, including the nightclub’s owner, were taken in for questioning as investigations continue.
