Growing requests for action against Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, due to the scandal surrounding her cancer claims and public donations have been addressed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
When she revealed that she had breast cancer and requested financial aid to pay for surgery, the public became outraged. Many Nigerians were skeptical of the appeal, and there were internet rumors that she might have duped contributors
“Everybody is saying EFCC should arrest Blessing CEO. But nobody has placed a petition before the EFCC CEO. As an anti-corruption agency, we cannot work on social media agitation, social media frenzy, without a credible petition that will authorise us to work on it.”
“If we go by social media agitation and there is a need to go to court, who is going to serve as a witness? Who are we going to say has petitioned the commission?”
“Everybody knows that if somebody obtains anything by false pretence, they are liable to EFCC investigation if it can be established. This is the receipt of the money she collected. They should come forward with receipts and evidence.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
