Court Denies KC Luxury Bail Due to Insufficient Medical Evidence
On October 29, 2026, Justice Musa Kakaki of the Federal High Court in Lagos rejected the bail application of businessman and social media influencer Afolabi Michael Kazeem, also known as KC Luxury. Kazeem is facing allegations of trafficking 184.5kg of cocaine and money laundering.
The court ruled that the defense did not provide adequate medical evidence to justify Kazeem's release on medical grounds. Justice Kakaki noted the absence of a medical certificate or expert assessment detailing Kazeem's health condition.
The judge ordered the Ikoyi Custodial Centre to ensure Kazeem has unrestricted access to medical care. Kazeem and his co-defendants, Boniface Sule and Ikechukwu Patriarch, pleaded not guilty to a 22-count amended charge.
The case is scheduled for trial on November 2, 2026. Kazeem's counsel, Emefo Etudo, argued for bail due to Kazeem's deteriorating health, while prosecutor Abu Ibrahim contended that the medical evidence presented was insufficient.
