Lagos Court Denies KC Luxury Bail in Drug Case

On October 29, 2026, Justice Musa Kakaki of the Federal High Court in Lagos denied bail to businessman and social media influencer Afolabi Michael Kazeem, known as KC Luxury, who faces charges of trafficking 184.5kg of cocaine and money laundering. The judge ruled that the defense did not provide sufficient evidence to justify bail on medical grounds, specifically noting the absence of a medical certificate.

Kakaki directed the Ikoyi Custodial Centre to ensure Kazeem has unrestricted access to medical professionals for any health issues. The case is set for an accelerated hearing on November 2, 2026.

Kazeem's lawyer, Emefo Etudo, argued that his client's health had worsened, particularly due to lung issues, while the prosecution, led by Abu Ibrahim, contended that the medical evidence did not warrant bail. The court had previously noted a recommendation for Kazeem to be assessed by a consultant respiratory physician.
