Popular Nigerian social media influencer and self-styled relationship therapist, Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, widely known as Blessing CEO, has been arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations connected to an alleged ₦36 million fraud case.
The arraignment took place on Friday, May 15, 2026, at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, before Justice D.I. Dipeolu. The case was filed by the EFCC Lagos Zonal Directorate 1, located on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi.
According to the charges, Blessing CEO is accused of obtaining money under false pretence and theft, with the total disputed amount reportedly standing at ₦36 million (Thirty-six million naira).
During the court proceedings, the defence counsel, P.I. Nwafor, informed the court that there had been partial restitution. He stated that the defendant had already refunded ₦24 million to the complainant before the hearing.
The defence further noted that discussions were ongoing regarding the remaining balance, suggesting efforts toward an out-of-court resolution or settlement between both parties.
The case has attracted significant public attention due to Blessing CEO’s large social media following, where she is known for relationship advice, lifestyle commentary, and online engagements.
The matter remains before the Federal High Court in Lagos, and further legal proceedings are expected as the EFCC continues its prosecution and the defence presents its case.
