Blessing CEO’s post have triggered mixed reactions with some people opining that she should have learnt her lesson in prison and be cautious with her words while others refused to believe she has regained her freedom.

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.
