It is more trouble for Nigerian relationship therapist and influencer Blessing CEO, as the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, has arraigned her
The social media influencer was re-arraigned on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 of the EFCC. She was arraigned 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 N69,150,000.
At the commencement of the proceedings, the prosecution counsel, C.C Okezie, urged the court to proceed with the arraignment, arguing that the defendant had been duly served with the charge.
However, the defence counsel, Nkama Nneka, informed the court that service of the charge had only recently been effected.
In his ruling, Justice Oshodi said that the arraignment should proceed in accordance with the law; hence, the charges were subsequently read to the defendant in court.
Recall that Blessing is also facing a two-count charge filed by the EFCC, Lagos Zonal Directorate 1, bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and stealing to the tune of N36 million. She was arraigned on May 15, 2026, over allegations that she obtained the sum from a petitioner under false pretences of leasing a property in Lekki, Lagos.
She was, however, granted N10 million bail.
