Court Grants Blessing CEO ₦20 Million Bail in Alleged ₦69m Fraud Case
A Lagos State Special Offences Court has granted social media influencer Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, bail in the sum of ₦20 million in her ongoing trial over an alleged ₦69 million fraud.
The court ordered her to provide two responsible sureties in the same amount, with each required to present a three-year bank statement or proof of a fixed deposit worth at least ₦20 million. Both the defendant and her sureties are also to be verified through the Lagos State Judiciary’s Bail Information Management System.
During the proceedings, Blessing CEO’s legal team informed the court that her international passport had been lost, submitting an affidavit of loss and a public notice to support the claim.
The judge subsequently directed the Nigerian Immigration Service to place her on a travel watchlist pending the conclusion of the trial.
The case was adjourned until October 12, 2026, for continuation of hearing. Blessing CEO is also facing a separate alleged ₦36 million fraud and theft case before the Federal High Court in Ikoyi.
