The Lagos Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has re-arraigned social media personality and self-acclaimed relationship therapist Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO, over an alleged ₦69.1 million fraud.

Blessing CEO was arraigned on Tuesday before Justice R.A. Oshodi of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos, on a two-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and stealing to the tune of ₦69,150,000.

At the commencement of proceedings, prosecution counsel C.C. Okezie urged the court to proceed with the arraignment, arguing that the defendant had been duly served with the charge.

Defence counsel Nkama Nneka, however, informed the court that service of the charge had only recently been effected. Justice Oshodi ruled that the arraignment should proceed in accordance with the law, after which the charges were read to the defendant.

This follows Blessing CEO's earlier arraignment by the EFCC on May 15, 2026, over a separate alleged ₦36 million fraud.
