The federal high court in Ikoyi, Lagos, has reserved its decision on the bail application filed by Blessing Okoro, social media personality and relationship coach who is facing trial over an alleged ₦36 million fraud case.

Justice D.I. Dipeolu adjourned the matter until June 9, 2026, after hearing arguments from both parties regarding the defendant’s request for bail.
