Blessing CEO Addresses Fraud Claims After Prison Time

Blessing Okoro, also known as Blessing CEO, spoke out regarding fraud allegations that resulted in her five-month imprisonment. In a meeting with Martins Vincent Otse, president of Ratel NGO, on 12 November 2026, she detailed her leasing of a six-bedroom property in Lagos for N6 million in 2022.

After changing her plans to relocate to Canada, she subleased the property for N12 million without informing her landlord. The first tenant left the property in poor condition, leading Okoro to issue an eviction notice.

The tenant reported her to the police, and she was later directed by the EFCC to refund N24 million. Okoro managed to raise N10 million the same evening and completed the payment the next day.

She subsequently subleased the property to a second tenant for N17 million per annum, totaling N69 million, while facing increased rent from her landlord. The landlord's concerns about unauthorized renovations led to police involvement.
