Blessing CEO Accused of Fraud in Property Ownership Case

Dr Onuoha Okeigwe testified on October 27, 2026, at the Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja, alleging that social media influencer Blessing Nkiruka Okoro, known as Blessing CEO, falsely claimed ownership of a property for which he paid N69.15 million. Okeigwe stated that he relied on Blessing's representations made through WhatsApp and in-person interactions before making the payment.

He claimed that she impersonated the actual owner of the property. Okeigwe, a doctor of chiropractic, indicated that he had initiated a separate civil suit against Blessing CEO to recover over N100 million spent on renovations for a medical facility he intended to establish at the property.

The criminal case involves charges of obtaining money by false pretence and stealing, to which Blessing CEO pleaded not guilty. Justice Rahman Oshodi adjourned the case until January 12, 2027, for the prosecution to present additional witnesses.
