EFCC Arrests Blessing CEO Over ₦36 Million Fraud Case

Blessing CEO, also known as Okoro Bless Nkiruka, was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly collecting ₦36 million to lease a six-bedroom detached duplex located at 1B Tunbosun Osobu Street, off Kuboy Road, Lekki, Lagos, which she did not own. She was arraigned on May 15, 2026, in the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, before Justice Dipeolu on two counts of obtaining money under false pretenses.

The prosecutor claimed that Blessing CEO collected the ₦36 million from Mr. Ifeyinwa Nony Okoy between July 14 and July 17, 2024, under the pretense of leasing the property.

It was noted that she had already refunded ₦24 million of the alleged ₦36 million. The defense counsel, P.

Nwafor, informed the court that they were seeking to resolve the outstanding ₦12 million balance, which, if settled, could lead to the EFCC dropping the case. However, S.

Suleiman, the prosecuting counsel, stated that the matter was a federal government issue and not an individual petition.
