Blessing CEO Granted ₦20 Million Bail in ₦69.15 Million Alleged Property Fraud Case

Controversial Nigerian relationship coach and social media personality Blessing CEO has been granted ₦20 million bail by the Lagos State Special Offences Court as she faces trial over an alleged ₦69.15 million property fraud.

The court’s decision comes about six weeks after she was remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre following her arraignment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Blessing CEO, whose real name is Blessing Okoro, was arraigned by the anti-graft agency on June 9, 2026, over allegations that she fraudulently obtained ₦69.15 million from Hope Chiropractic Health Clinic Limited under the guise of securing a lease for a property in the Lekki area of Lagos in March 2025.

The EFCC filed a two-count charge against her, accusing her of obtaining money under false pretences and stealing. She pleaded not guilty to both charges when they were read before the court.

Delivering his ruling on Thursday, Justice Rahman Oshodi approved her bail application, fixing bail at ₦20 million with two sureties in the same amount. The judge also directed that each surety must provide evidence of deposits worth ₦20 million maintained over the past three years.

In addition to the bail conditions, the court ordered the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) to enforce travel restrictions against the defendant pending the conclusion of the trial, preventing her from leaving the country without authorisation.

The case was subsequently adjourned until October 12, 2026, when proceedings are expected to continue as the court hears evidence from both the prosecution and the defence.

The ongoing trial has drawn significant public attention, given Blessing CEO’s prominence on social media, where she is known for her outspoken views on relationships and lifestyle issues.
