Blessing CEO Denies Drug Use Allegations Amid Fraud Cases

Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has publicly denied allegations of drug use during a live session with Nollywood actress and politician Doris Ogala. The allegations arose while Okoro was in detention, where she faced accusations from social media users regarding drug use and financial misconduct.

She firmly stated, “I don’t do drugs. I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I don’t even party,” emphasizing that many opinions about her are formed without personal knowledge of her lifestyle.

Blessing CEO's release followed months in detention due to three separate fraud-related cases filed against her by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). She was arraigned in June 2026, facing allegations involving property transactions and donations collected after claiming to battle stage four breast cancer, with the cases involving alleged sums of ₦36 million, ₦69.15 million, and ₦13 million.

She has pleaded not guilty to these charges.
