He wrote: “I have been arrested by the NDLEA from a night club in Lagos for basically nothing at all since around 4am. They made us sit down like criminals. We are over 150 people here till now that were carried to 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 the fuck. This is the height of injustice.”
Confirming the incident, the NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi explained that undercover officers had monitored the event from around 11 p.m. on Saturday before the raid was executed.
He stated that substances such as cannabis, also known as loud, and nitrous oxide, commonly called laughing gas, were recovered from the venue.
According to Babafemi, all individuals present at the nightclub, including the owner, were taken into custody for questioning and further investigation.
