This isn’t even about me, it’s about all of us, and all the amazing plans and vision you had. 44 I swear, I will not let a single one of your visions die.
“It is hard getting by without you, my backbone is truly gone but I won’t stop making you proud. I promise to continue to take this thing we started together, to the ends of the earth. I promise to continue dominating the world.”
He also pledged to support Abdul Uthman, the deceased’s son, while urging him to be strong for the family.
“And to Malik, even though you are taller than me, you are basically my son. Doing so well in school, passing with flying colours,” he added.
“I have to be strong for you, and you have to be strong for the family, your mom and your grand mom. Everything 44 wanted to do for you, we will finish it together.”

NDLEA Speaks on Pretty Mike’s Arrest, Warns Against ‘Drug Party’ Trend
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has cautioned nightclub operators and fun seekers across Nigeria against the growing trend of organizing and attending “drug parties”, describing the practice as a serious criminal offence under Nigerian law.
The warning follows a major raid conducted by NDLEA operatives at Proxy Night Club, located at 7 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, on the night of Saturday, October 25, into the early hours of Sunday, October 26, 2025.
According to a statement released on Monday, October 28, by NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi, over 100 attendees were arrested during the operation, alongside the club owner Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu, popularly known as Pretty Mike, and his manager Joachin Millary, who are currently in custody.
“Any gathering organized for the purpose of consuming, distributing, or abusing illicit substances is an act of criminality,” Babafemi said. “These ‘drug parties’ contravene the NDLEA Act and will be treated as serious narcotic offences.”
The agency disclosed that its operatives had conducted undercover surveillance on the club prior to the raid, including pre-purchases of illicit substances, to confirm reports of ongoing drug transactions.
“For four hours, between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., our operatives observed and recorded drug transactions and abuse before disrupting the brazen display of illegality,” Babafemi added.
NDLEA officials reportedly seized 384.882 kilograms of Canadian Loud, a potent strain of cannabis, along with other narcotic substances from the club’s storage area.
While all attendees were later profiled, counselled, and released, in line with international best practices, the two principal suspects Pretty Mike and his manager remain in NDLEA custody pending further investigation.
The agency reiterated its commitment to enforcing drug laws and urged Nigerians to refrain from attending or promoting drug-related events, warning that anyone found complicit will face prosecution.
