Court Discharges Pretty Mike and Club Supervisor After NDLEA Case Collapses

The Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, has discharged socialite Mike Nwalie (aka Pretty Mike) and Proxy nightclub supervisor Joachim Hillary after finding that the NDLEA failed to establish a prima facie case against them. Justice Ambrose Lewis-Alagoa upheld the defendants’ no-case submission, ruling that suspicion and circumstantial assertions could not sustain the drug-related charges at the preliminary stage. The prosecution had accused them of conspiracy, unlawful possession of hard drugs, and permitting the use of their venue for illicit drug activities following an October 26 raid on Proxy Lagos. The agency claimed to have recovered cylinders of nitrous oxide and a small amount of cannabis. Defence counsel argued there was no credible evidence linking the pair directly to the seized substances. The court agreed and discharged both without calling them to enter a defence.
