Mike Eze-Nwali ‘Pretty Mike’ Nwogu was arrested today by the Lagos State Police on the order of the State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.
The controversial club owner who has a penchant for putting girls on a leash and parading them at events in the city was spotted last week at a Lagos wedding with the girls, and the images quickly went viral and triggered a major campaign against the Club Uno owner.
Mike was invited to the Governor’s office but the governor didn’t see him personally. He directed his security team to interrogate him. But he was released and made to sign an undertaking that he would never carry out the dehumanizing acts again.
According to LIB, Pretty Mike tried to justify his action by claiming it was merely for entertainment and a woman empowerment kind of move and was not intended to degrade women but promised never to do it again!
In the undertaking he signed before the Lagos police, the club owner said:
“I, Mike Eze Nwalie, A.K.A Pretty Mike of 21A Magodo GRA, Luma Street, do hereby undertake to stop whatever act of putting girls on a leash or any other degrading treatment to ladies and guys. I am aware that such act offends the law of the State of Lagos and if I repeat it again, there will be legal act towards me. I undertake to issue a letter of apology to the public effective from tomorrow on all my social media platforms.”
Confirming the arrest, the State’s Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem said the government is fully out to arrest fellows practicing ‘such degrading acts.’
“The Lagos State Government is committed to the protection of the rights of all citizens including children, women and all the vulnerable persons in the State,” Kazeem said.
