The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), David Hundeyin has refuted allegations that popular social media influencer Blessing Okoro, better known as Blessing CEO was arrested by men of his command.
The controversial self acclaimed relationship expert was allegedly whisked away on Thursday by officers from Nigeria Police Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Alagbon.
While it’s unclear why she was picked up by the law enforcement officers, there are speculations that it might be related to her role in a case involving celebrity auto dealer, Ikechukwu Ogbonna, a.k.a IVD, and his late wife, Bimbo.
A trending video of her arrest made the rounds on social media on Thursday morning and in the video, Blessing CEO was seen being led to a waiting armoured police car after she had initially refused to appear in court.
