The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested well-known relationship therapist Blessing CEO before a Federal High Court in Lagos about an alleged ₦36 million fraud case.
The social media personality was arraigned on Friday, May 15, 2026, before Justice D.I. Dipeolu at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi on a two-count charge bordering on alleged fraud and stealing linked to a property transaction in Lekki, Lagos.
According to the EFCC, Blessing CEO allegedly collected ₦36 million from a woman identified as Mrs. Ifeyinwa Nonye Okoye between July 14 and 17, 2024, under the claim that the money was meant for leasing a six-bedroom detached duplex in Lekki.
During the proceedings, her lawyer informed the court that she had already refunded ₦24 million out of the disputed amount and requested a short adjournment to settle the remaining balance.
However, EFCC counsel opposed the move, insisting that the matter remained a criminal case before the Federal Government.
The case has generated reactions online, with many social media users reacting to the allegations and the reported partial refund of the money involved in the dispute.
After pleading not guilty to the charges, Blessing CEO was ordered to remain in EFCC custody pending further proceedings. The case was adjourned until June 5, 2026, for trial commencement.
