The Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, has reserved ruling on the bail application filed by social media influencer and relationship therapist, Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO, who is facing trial over an alleged N36 million fraud.
Justice D.I. Dipeolu adjourned the matter until June 9, 2026, when the court is expected to deliver its ruling on the application.
Blessing CEO is being prosecuted by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a two-count charge bordering on alleged obtaining of money by false pretence and stealing.
According to the anti-graft agency, the charges involve the alleged fraudulent acquisition and misappropriation of N36 million.
The defendant appeared before the court on Friday, where arguments were presented regarding her request for bail pending the determination of the case.
After hearing submissions from counsel, Justice Dipeolu reserved ruling and fixed June 9 for its decision.
The EFCC has maintained that the charges against the defendant arose from its investigations into the alleged financial transaction, while the case is expected to proceed following the court’s decision on the bail application.
Blessing CEO remains one of Nigeria’s most prominent social media personalities, known for her commentary on relationships and lifestyle issues.
