The EFCC, Lagos Zonal Directorate 2, on Wednesday arraigned social media influencer Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, also known as Blessing CEO, before Justice Yelim Bogoro of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.
She is facing a fresh charge of alleged N13,000,000 fraud. The EFCC said the case involves obtaining money by false pretence after she claimed to be battling Stage 4 breast cancer.
This was disclosed on the EFCC’s official X handle.
According to the Commission, the EFCC filed a fresh six-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and retaining the proceeds to the tune of N13,000,000 against her.
The charge followed receipt of several petitions from individuals and groups, including the Nigeria Cancer Society.
“ She was, however, later discovered to have allegedly falsified the document she presented to members of the public,” EFCC stated.
The EFCC had in 2023 arraigned Blessing CEO before a Lagos court on a six-count charge of cybercrime and cyberstalking. She was later granted bail after pleading not guilty to the charges.
