Popular social media personality and relationship coach, Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has been arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged N69.15 million fraud.
The influencer was brought before Justice R.A. Oshodi of the Special Offences Court in Ikeja, Lagos, on a two-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and stealing.
According to the EFCC, Blessing CEO allegedly convinced Hope Chiropractic Health Clinic Limited to pay N69.15 million for a property located in Lekki, Lagos, which she claimed to own and leased to the company for a five-year period. The anti-graft agency alleged that the claim was false and made with the intention to defraud.
The commission further accused her of dishonestly converting the funds belonging to the company for personal use.
When the charges were read in court, Blessing CEO pleaded not guilty to all counts.
Following her plea, the prosecution requested that she be remanded in EFCC custody pending her scheduled appearance before the Federal High Court in Ikoyi on June 10, 2026, in connection with another alleged fraud case.
Justice Oshodi subsequently ordered her remand and adjourned the matter until July 16, 2026, for the hearing of her bail application and commencement of trial.
In a related development, a Federal High Court in Ikoyi granted Blessing CEO bail in a separate alleged N36 million fraud case. The court admitted her to bail in the sum of N10 million with two sureties in like sum, subject to specified conditions.
The latest development adds to the legal challenges currently facing the controversial influencer as multiple fraud-related cases continue before the courts.
