A Lagos division of the Federal High Court has extended the detention of Afolabi Kazeem Michael, a Lagos socialite popularly known as KC Luxury, earlier arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Akintayo Aluko, presiding judge on Thursday ordered the NDLEA to extend KC Luxury’s detention by 30 days.

The court order followed the NDLEA’s application seeking to extend KC Luxury’s detention for further investigation into his alleged drug trafficking racket.

In addition the court also froze the socialite’s bank accounts linked to his bank verification number (BVN).

The court adjourned the case until September 17, 2026.

Earlier in August, the NDLEA announced the arrest of “prominent suspect Afolabi Kazeem Michael, popularly known online as ‘KC Luxury,’ whom investigations identified as the Nigerian arrowhead of the cartel.”

According to the NDLEA, KC Luxury was arrested on the night of August 13, 2026, upon credible intelligence that he intended to flee the country on a business-class flight to Paris. He was apprehended at the boarding gate of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, just as he attempted to escape the reach of the law.

The NDLEA said he “was found in possession of foreign currencies: €7,750 (Seven Thousand, Seven Hundred and Fifty Euros); £2,800 (Two Thousand, Eight Hundred Pounds Sterling) and ₦100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Naira) cash, and expensive jewellery, consistent with the proceeds of his illicit trade.”

“A subsequent search of his luxury apartment on Banana Island, Ikoyi, led to the recovery of exotic vehicles,” the NDLEA added.
