The Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday arraigned a social media influencer and self-acclaimed relationship therapist, Blessing Nkiruka Okra, also known as Blessing CEO, over a fresh alleged N13 million fraud allegation.
Blessing CEO was arraigned for fraud before Justice Yelim Bogoro of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos State.
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.
This followed the receipt of several petitions from individuals and groups, including the Nigeria Cancer Society.
The petitioners allegedly made donations to the defendant after her social media posts claiming that she was battling Stage 4 breast cancer and seeking financial support for treatment.
She was, however, later discovered to have allegedly falsified the document she presented to members of the public.
