The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned social media personality, Blessing CEO, before the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, over an alleged ₦36 million fraud.
Blessing CEO was arraigned on Thursday, May 15, on allegations bordering on obtaining money under false pretence and fraudulent conversion of funds.
According to the EFCC, she allegedly obtained the sum of ₦36 million from one Mrs. Ifeyinwa Nonye Okoye under the pretence of securing a six-bedroom detached duplex located in Lekki, Lagos.

Following her arraignment, the presiding judge ordered that she be remanded in EFCC custody pending the commencement of trial.
The matter was subsequently adjourned till June 5 for trial proceedings to begin.
