Blessing Okoro, also known as Blessing CEO, a self-described relationship expert, has been granted bail by a high court in Lagos State for suspected cyberbullying. The Nigeria Police Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) detained Blessing CEO. The detainment was a result of her involvement in the cases of the deceased Bimbo Ogbonna and Ikechukwu Ogbonna. Both these individuals were well-known auto dealers in Lagos.
She was charged with six counts total, including libel, cyberbullying, and showing uncensored movies. Judge Yelim Bogoro remanded her in the care of the Nigerian Correctional Services, NCoS, during a court session on Friday until a hearing on her bail plea on May 30.
She was granted N10 million bail with two sureties in the same amount. The case’s hearing was in front of Judge Tijjani Ringim of the Federal High Court. The bail was granted despite the prosecution’s lack of opposition.
