EFCC Explains Inability to Arrest Blessing CEO
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has clarified that it cannot arrest Blessing CEO, a relationship expert, due to the absence of a formal petition against her. This statement follows her controversial fundraising efforts after she claimed to be diagnosed with stage four breast cancer.
Although she initially sought financial assistance and reported receiving 13 million Naira, there were claims circulating that she had raised up to 100 million Naira. The EFCC source emphasized that without a legitimate complaint, they cannot commence an investigation or pursue legal action.
The agency has urged anyone with evidence, including donation records, to come forward. The situation has sparked significant outrage on social media, with netizens calling for action against Blessing CEO, but the EFCC requires a formal petition to act on the matter.
