Court Denies KC Luxury Bail in Drug Trafficking Case

On October 28, 2026, Justice Musa Kakaki of the Federal High Court in Lagos refused to grant bail to businessman and social media influencer Afolabi Kazeem, also known as KC Luxury, who faces charges of trafficking 184.5kg of cocaine and money laundering. The judge determined that the defense did not provide sufficient evidence to establish special circumstances for bail on medical grounds.

Kakaki noted the absence of a medical certificate justifying Kazeem's release and emphasized that any claims of illness should be supported by expert testimony. Despite denying bail, the judge instructed the Ikoyi Custodial Centre to allow Kazeem unrestricted access to medical professionals for his health issues.

The case is set for an accelerated hearing on November 2, 2026. Kazeem's counsel, Emefo Etudo, argued for bail due to Kazeem's deteriorating health, while prosecution counsel Abu Ibrahim contended that the medical evidence was insufficient to warrant release.
