Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has mocked a relationship expert, Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, who was sent to prison following her arraignment by the police.
KanyiDaily recalls that Blessing CEO was arrested over her involvement with a celebrity car dealer, Ikechukwu Ogbonna, better known as IVD Autos, who was accused of being the cause of the death of his late wife, Bimbo Ogbonna.
In a now-deleted post shared on her Instagram page, Tonto Dikeh said that Blessing CEO needs to be dealt a lesson due to her insensitive comments about the dead.
According to her, Blessing CEO’s detention should serve as a lesson to her not to meddle in people’s affairs and show disrespect towards the death.
She wrote: “I hate to see people suffer even though they bring it upon themselves but THIS LADY NEEDS TO BE DEALT A LESSON. I watched her berate a dead woman. I watched her bring pikin’ and sorrow to the dead. I mean anyone can support the husband (as a support system which many did privately) but to publicly insult, blame and intrude on such a delicate and sensitive issue. She needs to feel their pains too. I feel no pity for her! Her Nyash will be ok, after all, I do Nyash too, and e no lick nor get the problem. She did the dead wrong and that’s on period!!!!”.
KanyiDaily had reported how Bimbo died in a hospital after getting into a scuffle with her husband and allegedly setting herself ablaze at their mansion in Lagos.
While Bimbo’s sister accused IVD of killing his wife, Blessing defended the car dealer and was even dragged to the police by the deceased’s family.
IVD was arraigned and charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter at the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja where he pleaded not guilty to the crime.
Blessing CEO was reportedly arrested whilst in the company of IVD on Thursday morning, March 30, after weeks of dodging her court appearances.
The police on Friday arraigned the defendant on a six-count charge of alleged cyber-bullying, libel, and for exhibiting uncensored movies.
The self-acclaimed relationship expert was accused of using her social media page to injure the reputation of one Folashade Samuels and the late Bimbo Ogbonna by exposing them to hatred, contempt, and ridicule.
Prosecution counsel Rotshang Faith Dimka of the Force Headquarters, Abuja, said Okoro of Lekki, Lagos, on October 16, 2022, “intentionally sent messages using her Instagram handle @officialblessingceo to bully, threaten and harass one Folashade Samuels, a.k.a Mamajazz, a younger sister to the late Bimbo Ogbonna.”
Blessing CEO pleaded not guilty to the charges. She was remanded in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCoS) till May 30 for the hearing of her bail application.
