The Federal High Court, Lagos Division, on Friday reserved ruling on a bail application filed by Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO, who is undergoing trial for alleged N36 million fraud.
The Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), in a statement on Friday, said the judge reserved ruling on Blessing CEO’s bail application until June 9.
“Justice D.I. Dipeolu of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, on Friday, June 5, 2026, reserved ruling until June 9, 2026, on the bail application filed by social media influencer and relationship therapist, Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO,” the statement read.
It added, “Blessing is standing trial on a two-count charge filed by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 of the EFCC, bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and stealing to the tune of N36 million.”
Ms Okoro had announced a few months ago that she had stage four cancer, prompting the public to crowdfund for her treatment.
After raising a substantial sum of money estimated at around N36 million, she returned to normal life, a move that sparked reactions from those who had donated to her treatment.
