Mike Eze-Nwalie Nwogu, a Lagos nightclub owner popularly known as Pretty Mike, says he meant well by leashing young ladies.
Pretty Mike was Wednesday arrested by the police as a result of the public outcry that trailed his action.
He had been pictured with the leashed girls at two events in the past two weeks.
The boss of Club Uno, in Allen Avenue, Lagos, was also made to write an undertaking stating that he would stop the “act of putting girls on a leash or any other degrading treatment to ladies and guys”.
Pretty Mike in a subsequent statement on social media, also apologised for his actions while noting that he would use “other platforms to create awareness”.
“There has been a lot of controversy over two of my outings holding some females on a leash.
“I apologize to all the women and the good people of Lagos State, Nigeria and the rest of the world who feel dehumanized by this craft that meant well.
“I will use other platforms and format to continue to create the necessary awareness.”
With the use of hashtags, the socialite described himself as peace ambassador who stands for women’s rights.
Pretty Mike is very flamboyant and loves to show off his extravagant lifestyle on Instagram.
