KC Luxury Hospitalized in Court Amid Drug Charges Drama

Afolabi Michael Kazeem, popularly known as KC Luxury, was brought to the Federal High Court in Lagos on October 23 while receiving oxygen, amid serious health concerns. He is on trial for allegedly conspiring to export 184.5 kilogrammes of cocaine to the United Kingdom and for money laundering.

During the proceedings before Justice Musa Kakaki, it was revealed that Kazeem had been hospitalized since October 7, 2026, with asthma and sepsis, and was too ill to enter the courtroom. His counsel, Emefo Etudo, raised concerns about Kazeem's health, questioning why he was brought to court in such a critical state.

Following testimony from nurse Bukki Yahya, Justice Kakaki ordered Kazeem to be returned to the hospital. The defense argued for bail to allow Kazeem to receive specialized treatment at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, citing a collapsed lung and inadequate facilities at the Police Hospital.

Kazeem had been referred to LUTH but was taken to a correctional center on October 13, where his condition worsened.
