Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Tuoyo Ideh, has expressed his frustration after being detained alongside Lagos socialite, Pretty Mike, during a late-night operation by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at a nightclub in Lagos.
In a post shared via Instagram on Sunday, Tuoyo recounted that he was among more than 150 people arrested during the raid.
He said the experience left him shocked and angry, maintaining that he had done nothing wrong.
Narrating the incident, Tuoyo revealed that they were ordered to sit on the floor at the NDLEA headquarters in Ikoyi while their phones were confiscated.
He described the entire ordeal as unjust and humiliating.
He wrote: “I have been arrested by the NDLEA from a night club in Lagos for basically nothing at all since around 4am. They made us sit down like criminals. We are over 150 people here till now that were carried to NDLEA headquarters, Ikoyi. We didn’t commit any crime. They came with guns inside the club and told everyone to lie down.

He disclosed that items such as cannabis (popularly called loud) and nitrous oxide (known as laughing gas) were recovered from the premises.
Babafemi added that everyone present at the venue, including the club owner, was taken into custody for questioning and further investigation.
