Businessman and social media influencer Afolabi Kazeem Michael, popularly known as KC Luxury, reportedly arrived at the Federal High Court in Lagos in an ambulance on Friday, October 23, as his lawyer sought medical bail to enable him to receive specialised medical treatment.
According to PUNCH, KC Luxury was receiving oxygen inside the ambulance and could not be brought into the courtroom due to his reported critical health condition.
During the resumed hearing, a correctional officer informed the court that the defendant was seriously ill and had been hospitalised. The officer also called the nurse attending to him to provide information about his condition.
The nurse, Bukki Yahya, of the Police Hospital, Falomo, Lagos, reportedly told Justice Musa Kakaki that KC Luxury could not enter the courtroom because he was receiving oxygen inside the ambulance.
His lawyer is seeking his release on medical grounds to allow him to receive specialised treatment.
KC Luxury is currently standing trial alongside two other defendants over allegations bordering on cocaine trafficking, the unlawful export of narcotics and money laundering. They have all pleaded not guilty to the charges.
