A prosecution witness, Dr Onuoha Okeiqwe, told the Special Offences Court in Ikeja, Lagos, that he paid N69.15m for a five year lease on a property.

He said the property was presented to him as belonging to Blessing Nkiruka Okoro, known as Blessing CEO.

He gave this evidence on Monday, October 12, 2026, before Justice R. A. Oshodi during her ongoing trial.

The EFCC arraigned Blessing CEO on June 9, 2026.

She faces a two count charge of obtaining money by false pretence and stealing, both linked to the N69.15m.

She has pleaded not guilty.

The witness said the deal involved a building at No. 1 Tunbosun Osobu Street, Lekki.

He said it was leased to Hope Chiropractic Health Clinic Limited for five years.

He told the court he later called Blessing CEO after doubts came up about who owned the building.

He said she brushed off his concerns and insisted she owned it.

He also told the court that a man called Mr Tom arrived with police officers and arrested some workers at the property.

He said he paid N100,000 to get them released.

Okeiqwe showed the court WhatsApp messages in which Blessing CEO allegedly sent photos of the building as proof that she owned it.

He said he also paid agency, legal and caution fees.

He maintains that Blessing CEO took N69.15m even though she was not the real owner.

He also claims she took money from another person for the same property.

The case is still going on, and these claims have not yet been proven in court.
