The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has once again brought social media personality and self-proclaimed relationship expert Blessing CEO, whose real name is Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, before a Lagos court. This latest legal action, initiated on Tuesday by the agency’s Lagos Zonal Directorate, involves accusations of fraud amounting to N69.1 million. She faces two charges: obtaining money through false pretenses and theft.
During the court session at the Special Offences Court in Ikeja, presided over by Justice R.A. Oshodi, the prosecution, led by C. C. Okezie, requested that the arraignment proceed, noting that the defendant had been properly served with the charges. However, defense attorney Nkama Nneka argued that the charge documents were only recently delivered to her client. Justice Oshodi ruled that the arraignment must continue as legally required, and the charges were subsequently read to Blessing CEO.
This is not the first time Blessing CEO has faced such allegations. She was previously arraigned by the EFCC on May 15, 2026, in connection with an alleged N36 million fraud. The new case adds to her legal troubles, drawing significant public attention due to her prominence as a social media influencer.
