The Lagos Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, again arraigned a social media influencer and self-acclaimed relationship therapist, Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, also known as Blessing CEO, for an alleged N69.1 million fraud.

Blessing CEO was arraigned before Justice R.A. Oshodi of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos on a two-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and stealing to the tune of N69,150,000.

At the commencement of the proceedings, the prosecution counsel, C. C. Okezie, urged the court to proceed with the arraignment, arguing that the defendant had been duly served with the charge.

However, the defence counsel, Nkama Nneka, informed the court that service of the charge had only recently been effected.

In his ruling, Justice Oshodi held that the arraignment should proceed in accordance with the law, hence the charges were subsequently read to the defendant.

It will be recalled that Blessing CEO had been arraigned by the EFCC on 15th May 2026 over an alleged N36 million fraud.

Alleged N69.1m fraud: Blessing CEO faces fresh EFCC charge

Veteran Nigerian actor, Abdul Salam Taofeek, professionally known as Tioruju Mondusi, has shared his most painful experience in life.

The actor made the sad experience public during in an interview on African A-List podcast.

When asked if there’s anyone who had offended him and he hasn’t forgiven because of the pain, he said, “The only person that did the most painful thing to me in life is my wife. The incident brought tears from my eyes. She’s late now, may God forgive her.

“I went to a location about five years ago and I didn’t meet her at home when I returned. As at the time, she was nine months pregnant with our fifth child. I was unable to reach her on the phone to know her whereabouts until two days later when her number went through. After getting in touch with her she refused to tell me her whereabouts.

“It was when I visited her mother’s house to complain that I realized she had done an introduction with another man who is already married with four kids. After seeing the photo frame, I called to abuse her. That was when she returned to the house to abuse me and asked who told me that I’m the owner of the pregnancy.  

“She gave birth a few days later and requested to do the naming ceremony in my house after she had openly said the baby is not mine. That was when I got angry and arrested her alongside the man and his friend that came to beg me.

“Following my refusal to allow the naming to take place at my compound, she took me to court for the dissolution of our marriage. It was in the court that she confessed that the third and the last child were not mine. She has been going out with the man for many years. She died last year from depression after the man she left me for later abandoned her to face his family because he is already married with four children before the incident. He is from Ijebu in Ogun State.”
