Nigerian Tiktijer, Ego Blessing Okoye, recently grabbed a lot of attention on the internet when she was arrested under the watchful eye of actress extraordinaire Eniola Badmus.

Emerging from the shackles of detention, Blessing has finally broken her silence.

In a video making its fiery rounds, Ego’s voice drips with a blend of frustration and resentment as she bitterly laments about her phone being held by the police.

The lady revealed that she’s been out of detention for nearly a week now, as her situation with Eniola was sorted out and she had to cough up a fine.

Ego pointed out that the court ordered her belongings to be given back, but the police have turned a deaf ear. She elaborated that she’s visited the police station multiple times, only to be told to return on different days.

Detailing her plight, the TikToker revealed that her phone’s absence has thrown her financial access into disarray. Adding fuel to the fire, she expressed the urgency of needing medical attention but lacking the means to cover it.

To top it off, she lamented missing out on a golden opportunity for a Canada sponsorship interview, all because the access code was locked away in her unreachable phone.
