Blessing CEO Accused Of Collecting N69.15m For Lekki Property Lease

An Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) prosecution witness has told a Lagos court that social media personality Blessing CEO allegedly collected N69.15 million over a five-year lease of a property in Lekki that she allegedly did not own.

The testimony was presented at the Special Offences Court in Ikeja, where Blessing CEO, whose real name is Blessing Nkiruka, is facing charges of obtaining money by false pretence and stealing.

In a statement shared on its social media account on Monday, October 12, the EFCC outlined proceedings before Justice R.A. Oshodi.

Dr Onuoha Okeigwe, identified as the first prosecution witness, said the disputed transaction involved a building at No. 1 Tunbosun Osobu Street, Lekki, Lagos. He alleged that the defendant represented the property as hers and offered it for a five-year lease.

The EFCC arraigned Blessing CEO on June 9, 2026, through its Lagos Zonal Directorate 1. The two-count charge concerns N69,150,000, and the influencer pleaded not guilty.

The prosecution alleged that she persuaded Hope Chiropractic Health Clinic Limited to pay the money on or about March 21, 2025, through a representation that she owned the property and could lease it to the company.

During his testimony, Okeigwe recounted an incident in which a man identified as Mr Tom allegedly visited the property with police officers, leading to the arrest of some workers.

He said he contacted Blessing CEO to report what had happened. According to the witness, she denied knowing the man but continued to maintain that she owned the building.

Okeigwe also testified that he paid N100,000 to secure the workers’ release. He presented WhatsApp messages in which Blessing CEO allegedly sent photographs of the building as evidence of her claimed ownership.

The witness further alleged that agency, legal and caution fees were paid in connection with the lease. He also claimed the influencer received money from him and another person concerning the same property.

The charges fall under Section 1(2) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act, with punishment provided under Section 1(3).

The court adjourned proceedings until October 26, 2026, for the continuation of the trial. The allegations remain subject to determination by the court.

According to TMZ, the 56-year-old entertainer was taken for medical treatment on Saturday, October 10, after sustaining an injury described as non-life-threatening.

“We are aware of the reports concerning Sean Combs and are working to confirm the circumstances,” the representative said, expressing appreciation to those who had reached out with concerns.

A spokesperson for the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix, where Combs is serving his sentence, reportedly declined to comment on the reported hospital visit.

The development comes amid increased media attention on the rapper’s prison conditions. A report published by the Los Angeles Times on October 2 cited NBC News accounts involving four anonymous inmates who alleged that Combs paid fellow prisoners to cook and clean for him.

The reports also alleged that he had access to a contraband mobile phone and an illegal supply of alcohol. His representative pushed back against the scrutiny, arguing that ordinary aspects of prison life were being presented as major news.

Meanwhile, Combs’ projected release date reportedly changed from January 21, 2028, to March 2, 2028, according to information in the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ inmate database cited by the newspaper.

The rapper is serving a 50-month federal prison sentence after a jury convicted him in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.

His conviction and sentence are currently under appeal, with the legal process remaining unresolved in the latest reports.

Further details about the reported injury and his medical condition have not been confirmed publicly.

Davido’s Sister Sharon Reveals Why She No Longer Likes Buying Expensive Clothes

/by

Sharon Adeleke, sister of Nigerian music star Davido, has shared her changing attitude towards expensive fashion, revealing that she is no longer willing to spend heavily on certain items.

Sharon made the disclosure while discussing her personal approach to shopping, explaining that expensive clothing is among the things she no longer considers worth paying huge amounts of money for.

According to her, she has become more selective about how much she spends on particular items, suggesting that looking fashionable does not necessarily require purchasing costly outfits.

“I don’t really believe in buying expensive clothes. There are certain things I’m not willing to pay for anymore,” she said.

Her comments have sparked reactions on social media, with users sharing different opinions about luxury fashion, affordability and the value attached to designer clothing.

Some commenters argued that exposure to luxury could change a person’s perception of expensive items, while others suggested that people with considerable financial resources might eventually lose interest in spending excessively.

One user, identified as Mr Prolific, criticised the high prices charged by some Nigerian fashion brands, arguing that certain clothing items were overpriced.

Another commenter, DarksideAura, suggested that having enough money to afford expensive things could eventually reduce the desire to buy more.

However, others offered different interpretations of Sharon’s remarks, noting that her financial background could influence how she views luxury purchases.

Saint Vincent argued that someone accustomed to luxury might begin to consider expensive items ordinary, while people who have never experienced such privileges could have a different perspective.

Sharon’s statement has therefore opened up a broader conversation about personal spending habits, luxury consumption and the relationship between wealth and fashion choices.

Her remarks reflect her individual preferences and suggest that she is becoming more conscious of the amount she is willing to spend on clothing.

The discussion also highlights the continuing debate surrounding the pricing of designer fashion and Nigerian clothing brands.

Nicki Minaj Explains Why She Speaks Out on Alleged Persecution of Christians in Nigeria

American rapper Nicki Minaj has said her ties to Nigeria through her pastor and reports of religious violence influenced her decision to speak out about the alleged persecution of Christians in the country.

She made the remarks during an X Takeover event at Tesla’s Giga Texas facility in Austin, Texas. A video of her comments circulated widely on Monday.

The 43-year-old rapper said reports of violence against Christians, particularly in Nigeria, had deeply troubled her.
“For Nigeria personally, my pastor is from Nigeria, so I have a link to Nigeria because of him. And of course, I have a lot of Nigerian barbs, but what I started seeing was the brutality with which Christians are being treated there just for being Christian,” said Minaj.

According to the rapper, her advocacy is driven by concerns about freedom of religion and the safety of Christian communities.
Minaj encouraged fellow entertainers and influencers to speak out and help raise awareness of what she called the brutal treatment of Christians in Nigeria.
The “Super Bass” crooner added that many public figures avoid discussing difficult or politically charged matters because they don’t see such conversations as trendy.

She noted, “And I thought, why isn’t anyone making a big deal out of this, you know? And sometimes when things aren’t cool to talk about, people don’t talk about it.

“So right now, actually, I’m hoping that more celebrities or people, influencers, I’m hoping that they come aboard the train to start speaking out about what’s happening to Christians in Nigeria. And I look forward to doing more to help in that way, in that cause.”
