Lagos socialite and nightclub owner, Mike Nwogu, popularly known as Pretty Mike, has revealed that he is set to reopen his nightclub, Proxy Lagos, about seven months after a raid by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
Pretty Mike revealed this in a video he posted on his Instagram page on Tuesday.
The Eagle Online recalls that operatives of the NDLEA raided the nightclub on October 26, 2025, with over 100 guests arrested.
Among those arrested were Pretty Mike himself and a former Big Brother Naija housemate, Tuoyo Ideh.
The agency made available to the media photographs of illicit substances, including Loud and laughing gas, recovered from the nightclub.
Speaking in the Instagram video on Tuesday, Pretty Mike said: “Seven months ago, my world fell apart.
“From the pain of losing my father to the crushing blow that hit my business, #Proxylagos, it’s been a season of heavy silence.
“But I am returning today with a heart full of gratitude.
“To everyone who checked on me and kept me in your prayers during my lowest moments, thank you for not letting me go.
