Blessing CEO Denies Drug Use Allegations After Release From Detention
Social media personality and relationship expert Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has denied allegations of drug use that circulated online during her period in detention.
She made the denial while speaking with Nollywood actress and politician Doris Ogala during a live social media session following her release.
The allegations emerged as discussions about her detention intensified across social media platforms. Some users accused the influencer of using drugs, while others discouraged members of the public from giving her money, alleging that she could spend the funds on drugs.
Several commentators also suggested that rehabilitation would be more appropriate than financial assistance.
Blessing CEO, however, rejected the accusations, arguing that people were making claims about her lifestyle without personally knowing her.

She said she did not use drugs, smoke, drink alcohol or attend parties, challenging the assumptions being circulated about her private life.
“I don’t do drugs. I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I don’t even party. Most times the internet just have a way of enjoying their self. A lot of people don’t even know me personally,” she said.
Her remarks come amid public attention surrounding the legal cases that led to her detention.
The influencer was reportedly released after spending months in custody over three separate fraud-related cases brought against her by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
She was arraigned in June 2026 over allegations involving property transactions and donations reportedly collected after she claimed to be suffering from stage four breast cancer.
The three cases reportedly involve ₦36 million, ₦69.15 million and ₦13 million.
Blessing CEO pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The allegations remain matters for the court to determine, while her recent comments address the separate claims about her alleged drug use.
