Social media personality Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has been granted N20 million bail by a Lagos court in her ongoing trial over an alleged N69.15 million fraud.
The Lagos State Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, presided over by Justice Rahman Oshodi, delivered the ruling on Thursday. The court admitted the defendant to bail with two responsible sureties in the like sum after carefully considering the application.
Blessing CEO was first arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on June 9, 2026, on a two-count charge of stealing and obtaining money by false pretences. According to the EFCC, she allegedly obtained N69,150,000 from Hope Chiropractic Health Clinic Limited in March 2025 by falsely claiming she would secure the lease of a property in the Lekki area of Lagos. She pleaded not guilty to the charges.

During the bail hearing, the court sought clarification on the location of her international passport. Her defence counsel informed the court that the passport had been lost and submitted an affidavit of loss along with public notices published to that effect.
In his ruling, Justice Oshodi ordered that each surety must provide a three-year bank statement or evidence of a fixed deposit worth not less than N20 million. He also directed that Blessing CEO and her sureties be profiled through the Lagos State Judiciary’s Bail Information Management System. The Nigerian Immigration Service was ordered to be notified of her travel restrictions pending the conclusion of the case.
The matter has been adjourned until October 12, 2026, for the continuation of trial.
This development comes as the controversial influencer continues to face legal battles related to multiple fraud allegations. Fans and critics have reacted strongly online, with many closely following the high-profile case that has kept Blessing CEO in the headlines for months.
