Blessing Okoro, also known as Blessing CEO, is a social media influencer and relationship therapist. He was arraigned before the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, regarding an alleged N36 million fraud case.
The Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) docked her on Friday on two counts related to alleged theft and obtaining money under false pretenses.
According to a statement on the anti-graft agency’s website, Blessing CEO allegedly took N36 million from Mrs. Ifeyinwa Nonye Okoye between July 14 and 17, 2024, under the guise of obtaining a six-bedroom duplex in Lekki, Lagos.
The prosecution claimed that the statement was untrue and in violation of the 2006 Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act.
Additionally, she was charged with violating the Criminal Code Act by fraudulently converting the aforementioned amount for personal use.
When the charges were read in court, Blessing CEO entered a “not guilty” plea.
After she entered a plea, the prosecution asked that she be placed under remand in a correctional facility while she awaited trial. The defense attorney countered that she had just received the charges and was getting ready to apply for bail.
The defendant was remanded in EFCC custody while her bail application was being heard, according to Justice D. I. Dipeolu’s order.
The trial was adjourned till June 5, 2026
Hmmmmm! From faking cancer to facing fraud allegations—what’s really happening here?
We are patiently waiting to see how this unfolds. Drama seems to be everywhere.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
