Ruling On Blessing CEO’s Alleged N36m Fraud Bail Application Reserved

The Federal High Court, Ikoyi, has reserved judgment on the bail application of Okoro Blessing Nkiruka. Justice D.I. Dipeolu deferred the bail application decision until Tuesday, June 9, 2026. This decision followed intense legal arguments from both the prosecution and defence teams.

The Lagos Zonal Directorate of the EFCC filed a two-count charge against the relationship therapist. The legal allegations focus on stealing and obtaining money under false pretences. The total financial sum involved in the criminal case is N36 million.

The court initially arraigned the social media personality on May 15, 2026. The prosecution claims she took the money by falsely promising a Lekki property lease.

The court had previously adjourned the matter to June 5, 2026, to hear the bail application. With the arguments now concluded, the defendant will remain in custody pending the court’s final ruling on Tuesday.
