A Nigerian legal practitioner, Wendy Cynthia Okosa, has expressed firm support for VeryDarkMan regarding his petition against Blessing Nkiruka Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, over donations she received while claiming to be battling cancer.
This follows VDM’s announcement that he had formally submitted a petition to the Inspector-General of Police in Abuja.
In the complaint, he accused Blessing CEO of offences such as obtaining money under false pretences, forgery, and misrepresentation.
He also stated that the petition was cleared for a full investigation on April 7, 2026.
Reacting via Facebook, Barrister Okosa addressed concerns about whether the case could hold legal weight, especially since VDM reportedly donated only N150.
According to her, the value of money involved does not determine the strength of a criminal case.
She explained that what truly matters is the nature of the alleged act and whether there was intent to deceive.
She further noted that even a small amount like N150 can support a valid complaint if it forms part of a broader alleged scheme affecting multiple individuals.
In her words:
“Can VeryDarkMan Legally Petition Blessing CEO Over Just ₦150 Naira Only?
VeryDarkMan has stated that he filed a petition to the Inspector-General of Police against Blessing CEO, alleging that she deceived the public and obtained money under false pretences.
Can he legally do this over just ₦150 donation?
Yes — he has the right to petition, even if the amount he personally donated is as little as ₦150. In law, what matters is not the amount involved, but the alleged conduct. The offence of obtaining by false pretence is concerned with whether:
🥢There was a false representation of fact
🥢It was made knowingly and with intent to deceive
🥢It induced people to part with their money, regardless of how small the amount may be
This means that even ₦10 or ₦150 can form the basis of a valid complaint, especially if it is part of a wider alleged scheme to defraud members of the public.
Does he have the right to petition?
Absolutely. Any individual has the legal right to:
🥢Report a suspected crime
🥢Submit a petition to law enforcement authorities
🥢Act in the public interest, particularly where multiple people may have been affected
In this situation, his donation can serve as evidence that he relied on the alleged representation, making him a potential victim.
▶️Key takeaway
The success of the case will not depend on the ₦150, but on whether it can be established that:
🥢The representation (such as a medical condition) was false, and
🥢It was used to induce members of the public to make donations
If these elements are proven, then the petition is legally justified, no matter how small the individual contribution may be.
