Cocaine Cartels' Hidden Network: A Nigerian Hub Exposed The arrest of Afolabi Kazeem Micheal, a Nigerian social media influencer known as "KC Luxury," has shed light on the use of Africa as a transit hub for cocaine trafficking.
The seizure of nearly $28m worth of cocaine at Lagos's Murtala Mohammed International Airport, destined for the UK, is a significant part of this narrative.
Micheal's rise to social media fame appears to be a rags to riches story. He amassed a following of 700,000 on Instagram by presenting himself as a businessman dealing in gold and luxury goods.
