EFCC Arraigns Popular Relationship Coach Blessing CEO for Alleged N36m Fraud.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has finally arraigned Blessing CEO, a popular relationship coach and social media figure, over an alleged N36 million fraud. The case was heard at a Lagos court, and at the end of the proceedings, she was ordered to be remanded in custody.
Blessing CEO, whose full name is Blessing Okoro, has been in the news for years over her controversial takes on relationships, marriage, and infidelity. But this time, the issue is not about what she said online. It is about money that reportedly went missing from someone who trusted her.
According to court documents seen by Toktok9ja Media, the allegations against her involve obtaining money under false pretenses. A client had reportedly paid her a large sum for some kind of service or investment arrangement, but the promised returns or deliverables never came. After several complaints, the EFCC stepped in and began their investigation.
When the case came up for hearing, Blessing CEO pleaded not guilty to the charges. Her lawyer quickly filed a bail application, asking the court to release her on liberal terms. However, the presiding judge decided that she should remain in EFCC custody pending the hearing and determination of the bail application.
This means she will not be going home anytime soon.
Many of her followers were caught off guard. Just days before her arrest, she had been posting as usual on her social media pages, giving advice and sharing motivational messages. None of those posts gave any hint that she was about to be dragged to court.
The EFCC has not released an official statement with all the fine details, but sources close to the commission say more arrests may follow as they continue to trace the money. The commission has been cracking down on cases of online fraud and false pretence, and Blessing CEO is now the latest name on their list.
This is a developing story. We will update you as soon as the bail ruling is delivered and more facts come to light.
