VDM files petition against Blessing CEO
VDM, in the petition, accused Blessing CEO of offences including obtaining money under false pretences, forgery, and false representation. According to him, the petition was approved for a full investigation on April 7, 2026.
Reacting to the issue on Facebook, Barrister Okosa addressed questions about whether the petition could stand legally, especially since VeryDarkMan reportedly donated a little amount of N150 only.
Lawyer applauds VDM's petition against Blessing CEO
In her explanation, the lawyer stated that the amount involved does not determine the validity of a criminal complaint. She noted that what matters in law is the alleged conduct and whether there was an intention to deceive.
According to her, even small amounts such as N150 can form the basis of a valid complaint if they are part of a larger alleged scheme affecting multiple people.

"Can VeryDarkMan Legally Petition Blessing CEO Over Just N150 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 N150 donation?
Yes — he has the right to petition, even if the amount he personally donated is as little as N150. 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 N10 or N150 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 N150, 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."
