Alleged N69.1m Fraud: Blessing CEO Faces Fresh EFCC Charge

The Lagos Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has again arraigned social media influencer and self-acclaimed relationship therapist, Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO, over an alleged N69.1 million fraud.

She was arraigned on Tuesday before Justice R.A. Oshodi of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos, on a two-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and stealing.

The EFCC alleged that the sum involved is N69,150,000.

At the start of proceedings, the prosecution counsel, C. C. Okezie, urged the court to proceed with the arraignment, arguing that the defendant had already been properly served with the charge.

However, the defence counsel, Nkama Nneka, informed the court that the charge had only recently been served on the defendant.

In his ruling, Justice Oshodi held that the arraignment should proceed in line with legal procedure, after which the charges were read to the defendant.

This development comes shortly after Blessing CEO was previously arraigned by the EFCC on May 15, 2026, over an alleged N36 million fraud case.
