Controversial club owner and socialite, Mike Eze-Nwalie Nwogu, a.k.a Pretty Mike, has been arrested the Lagos State Police Command for puting dog chain on women.

Pretty Mike broke the internet recently when images emerged of him attending different events in Lagos with two masked ladies on dog leashes, in what was described as an anti-social and inhumane behaviour.

The photo caused controversy in the media as many Nigerians condemned the act. The Lagos state government and relevant authorities were called on to intervene with some demanding an apology from the club owner.
