Nigerian blogger Stella Dimoko Korkus (SDK) has published a lengthy exposé alleging that a series of criminal investigations and prior incidents led to the deportation of Nigerian businesswoman Blessing Edet Osom from the United Arab Emirates earlier this month.
In the report, SDK insists the information was “well-investigated” and sourced from individuals familiar with the arrest operation.
Arrest and Detention
According to SDK, Osom was arrested alongside 72 other individuals on Saturday, November 8, 2025, during a joint SWAT and CID raid at about 6 a.m.
She was allegedly first taken to Bur Dubai Police Station, where detainees were made to sit in the sun for hours before interrogations began. SDK claimed that Osom was questioned every 15 minutes before being transferred to Block A of Al Barsha Police Station, a section she described as housing suspects in prostitution-related cases.
SDK alleged that Osom clashed with other female detainees, accusing them of leaking information to bloggers.
The report states that she was eventually deported on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, around 7 a.m., escorted to the airport by two female CID officers.
Allegations of Illegal “After-Party” Operations
SDK claimed that Osom had been running a syndicated after-party operation from Villa 14 in Al Quoz, which she allegedly rented but publicly presented as her property.
The villa was reportedly raided and left with doors and windows removed.
In the report, SDK alleges that Osom sold:
- Vodka bottles at 1,000 dirhams
- Large nitrous oxide cylinders (“laughing gas”) at 1,500 dirhams
- Smaller cylinders at 1,000 dirhams
She reportedly earned 30,000–40,000 dirhams on weekdays, and 60,000–75,000 dirhams on weekends, figures SDK claims were recorded in the investigation.
SDK also alleged that the nitrous oxide supply came from a man identified as “Mr Ismael.”
Previous Incidents and Legal Complications
SDK further stated that three weeks before the arrest, a violent fight involving young men armed with knives broke out at the villa, prompting police intervention.
Footage allegedly showed suspects jumping fences and rooftops to avoid arrest.
She claimed Osom had hired three lawyers during detention, but all withdrew after reviewing her case file.
Immigration Status and Business Operations
SDK alleged that Osom was building a restaurant in JVC ahead of a planned December opening, but the project is now stalled due to her immigration ban.
SDK also claimed:
- Osom’s Emirates ID listed her as a supervisor to avoid liability associated with ownership.
- Alcohol sold at the restaurant was allegedly sourced from unlicensed merchants known as “Ajman.”
- Delivery operations were handled through food platforms, while the premises were used for “other suspicious activities.”
SDK referenced negative reviews from Dubai-based blogs and restaurant platforms.
Staff and Associates
According to the report, two women identified as Amina (Senegal) and Fatou (Gambia) — described as working with Osom — were deported on Thursday, November 20, 2025.
A Nigerian assistant known as “Showman” allegedly moved Osom’s belongings to storage after her arrest.
SDK also claimed that Egyptian bouncers and villa security personnel complained about unpaid wages.
Other Allegations
The blogger alleged:
- Frequent calls to a Cameroonian footballer based in Germany.
- Associations with a business partner identified as “Jojo,” who reportedly left Dubai weeks before the raid.
- That Osom owned no property in Dubai apart from a Jaguar and a Nissan Patrol.
SDK also claimed that during booking procedures, Osom’s wig was removed, revealing hair “entirely grey,” leading officers to question her stated age.
Status
As of the time of SDK’s report, Blessing Osom has not publicly responded to the allegations, and UAE authorities have not issued any official statement.
SDK describes the matter as a developing story.
