Popular Nigerian relationship therapist and social media personality, Blessing CEO, was on Thursday arraigned before the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged N36 million fraud.
According to the anti-graft agency, Blessing CEO allegedly obtained the sum of N36 million from one Mrs. Ifeyinwa Nonye Okoye under the false pretense of securing a six-bedroom detached duplex located in Lekki, Lagos.
The EFCC accused the media personality of allegedly converting the money for personal use instead of using it for the intended property transaction.
