Due to allegations of abuse during a nightclub raid in Lagos, Tuoyo Ideh has pledged to sue the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
In the early hours of Sunday, October 26, 2025, the NDLEA conducted a raid at Proxy Nightclub located in Victoria Island, Lagos.
More than 100 clients were arrested as a result of the operation, including former Big Brother Naija housemate Tuoyo Ideh and well-known Lagos socialite Pretty Mike.
After being arrested, Tuoyo said he was physically and psychologically hurt by the beating and humiliation he received from NDLEA agents.
Three days have passed since the event, and Tuoyo said in an Instagram post that he is still having trouble getting better.
He thanked fans, friends, and colleagues for their support, saying it has kept him going during this difficult period.
He wrote:
“It’s been 3 days since the NDLEA incident, and I won’t lie, I’m still trying to process everything.
“I’m still in pain and traumatized, but I want to use this medium to say a big thank you to everyone who has reached out, from my DMs to calls and messages, it has honestly kept me going.
“Nevertheless, I have decided to take legal action against the infringement of my human right, and I hope justice will take its full course. Thank you once again.”

Tuoyo posted a video to his Instagram site detailing his experience. As a promoter for the club, he explained the mental and physical suffering he went through.
He said: “I’m a promoter, if you see me outside, it’s because of business I promote for different clubs.
“I have not even sat down for up to 30 minutes, all I heard was, ‘Everybody go down!’. I looked up and I saw people that wore black, and I saw military personnel. They asked us to drop our phones, then after some time, they stood us up, checked me, checked my bag, checked every single thing from me, and they checked my socks, checked everything. They didn’t find anything at all, and asked us to go outside after 3am.
“We went outside and sat on the floor, which was humiliating. They started asking after some hours please, what is happening.
“I posted on my social media platform, and I’m like, I have been arrested by the NDLEA for no just cause, which basically was a no just cause, because I was not found with anything at all.
Then after like 30 minutes, or 40 minutes, I just see a woman just came and pointed, the people just ran away from the office, and just pointed me, ‘he’s the one.’ Like five guys literally rushed towards me, they first brushed me and slapped me… and one even said, ‘Na you go post abi? Shoot him.’ They were beating me.
“As I was rolling on the floor back and forth, they were hitting me with sticks, kicking and slapping me. I was breathing so fast; I thought I was going to give up. I’ve never been beaten like that in my life.”
Tuoyo captioned the video:
