A Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos reserves ruling on a bail application by social media influencer Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, also known as Blessing CEO, who is facing EFCC prosecution over alleged fraud. Justice D.I. Dipeolu of the Federal High Court does not grant the application immediately and instead holds the matter for further decision, with reports indicating the ruling is reserved and scheduled for later.
Multiple EFCC cases are reported against her. In one matter, she is charged with alleged N36 million fraud, with the bail application being considered by the court. In separate, later proceedings reported by other outlets, the EFCC arraigns her over alleged fresh fraud amounts, including allegations of medical-fraud involving soliciting funds based on a claimed terminal illness and a separate alleged N69.15 million fraud case. In the N69.15 million matter, she is reported to be remanded pending trial.
The sources agree on the court’s handling of the bail request in the N36 million case, while they differ on the specific dates and the later case details, describing separate charges and procedural steps taken by the EFCC.
