BREAKING: EFCC Arraigns Blessing CEO Again Over Alleged ₦13m Fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has again arraigned social media influencer and self-acclaimed relationship therapist, Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO, over a fresh alleged ₦13 million fraud case.

The Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 of the anti-graft agency arraigned her on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, before Justice Yelim Bogoro of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.

According to the EFCC, Blessing CEO is facing a six-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and retaining proceeds allegedly amounting to ₦13,000,000.

The Commission disclosed that the charges followed petitions from individuals and groups, including the Nigeria Cancer Society, over claims that the influencer solicited financial support online after allegedly announcing that she was battling Stage 4 breast cancer.

Investigations by the EFCC allegedly revealed that donations were made by members of the public based on the claims. The anti-graft agency further alleged that documents presented to support the appeal were later discovered to have been falsified.

The latest arraignment comes barely 24 hours after Blessing CEO was arraigned by the EFCC before Justice R.A. Oshodi of the Special Offences Court in Ikeja over a separate alleged ₦69.15 million fraud case. In that matter, she was charged with obtaining money by false pretence and stealing.

The fresh charges mark Blessing CEO’s second EFCC arraignment in less than 24 hours, further intensifying her ongoing legal battle with the anti-graft agency.

The case was adjourned for further proceedings.
