Lagos Police Speaks On Arresting Blessing CEO

The Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has reacted to reports that its officers arrested social media influencer Blessing Nkiru Okoro, better known as Blessing CEO.

A video surfaced on social media on Thursday showing Blessing CEO being led by police into a vehicle. She was reportedly arrested over alleged involvement in celebrity auto dealer, Ikechukwu Ogbonna, popularly known as IVD, and his late wife, Bimbo Ogbonna’s case.

The controversial relationship therapist was reportedly arrested after allegedly refusing to appear in court.

Naija News recalls that Bimbo was the lady who died following an injury sustained from a fire incident in their home in Megamound Estate.

Bimbo’s sister had alleged that she died due to domestic violence. However, Blessing, who claimed to be Ogbonna’s relationship therapist, alleged that the deceased was violent and suicidal.

However, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, told Daily Post on Friday that he could not confirm Blessing CEO’s arrest because the policemen involved are from Force CID in Abuja.

The Force Criminal Investigation Department (CID), however, has not issued any statement to confirm the arrest as of the time of filing this report, Naija News understands.

Meanwhile, celebrity Chef, Chioma Avril, the wife of Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, popularly called Davido, has returned to social media.

Naija News reports that this comes a few hours after Davido, dropped his much anticipated fourth album, ‘Timeless’.

Recall that Chioma and Davido have been away on social media for six months, owing to the death of their only child, Ifeanyi Adeleke, on the 31st of October, 2022.

Although the duo were spotted during the inauguration ceremony of Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, and since then, they have been out of public space.
