KC Luxury and Accomplices Arraigned for ₦39 Billion Cocaine

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) arraigned Afolabi Kazeem Michael, also known as KC Luxury, along with Boniface Freeman Ochoche Sule and Ikechukwu Ekugo Patriarch, before Hon. Justice Ayokunle Olayinka Faji at the Federal High Court in Lagos. They face a 22-count charge related to cocaine trafficking, illegal export of narcotics, and money laundering.

The charges allege that between 28th July and 1st August 2026, the trio conspired to export 184.5 kilograms of cocaine concealed in consignments through a Lagos courier firm to London. They pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The indictment includes accusations of conspiring with two individuals already arrested in London and details Afolabi's financial transactions linked to the drug trade. The NDLEA prosecutor opposed bail, citing the severity of the charges, leading Justice Faji to remand the defendants in custody until the next hearing on 4th October 2026.
