Court orders NDLEA to produce KC Luxury in Lagos

Summary

A Lagos Federal High Court has ordered the NDLEA to bring social media influencer and businessman Kazeem Afolabi, known as KC Luxury, before the court over his alleged detention without charge.

Highlights

• Justice Friday Ogazi issued the order after an ex parte application filed by Afolabi through his lawyer under the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules 2009.
• The court directed the NDLEA to respond within five days and show why Afolabi should not be released or admitted to bail.
• Afolabi’s father said in an affidavit that he had been held since an alleged August 13 arrest at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
• The application claims he was not told the offence for which he was arrested and had not been charged before a court.
• It also alleges that NDLEA operatives searched his Lagos home without a warrant and seized his phone.
