Blessing CEO In Big Trouble As Nigerian Govt Demands Probe Into Her Cancer Saga
The Nigerian Cancer Society (NCS) has demanded an investigation into claims made by social media personality Blessing CEO that she is battling stage four breast cancer.
The controversy began in January when Blessing CEO first announced her diagnosis.
She recently shared a medical report to support her claim of having stage four breast cancer while soliciting financial support from the public.
However, Xinus Medical Diagnostics pushed back against her claim, accusing her of altering the report.
The diagnostic center disclosed that the original document had been issued to someone named Deborah Mbara in May 2025.
On Tuesday, Deborah Mbara, a makeup artist and cancer survivor, came forward to explain how Blessing CEO allegedly obtained her medical report.
In response, the NCS condemned any attempt to exploit cancer for personal gain.
The association stated it would engage with relevant authorities to investigate the matter and ensure accountability.
“While many compassionate Nigerians responded with financial support, emerging concerns now question the authenticity of these claims. This has sparked public outcry, with calls for accountability and investigation,” it said in a statement.
“NCS strongly condemns any attempt to exploit cancer for personal gain. Cancer is a life-threatening condition that demands honesty, empathy, and responsibility.
“Misrepresentation not only deceives the public but also harms genuine patients by eroding trust and discouraging support.
“We will be engaging relevant authorities to ensure a thorough investigation and accountability where necessary.”
The association also urged the public to verify claims before making donations.
“We also urge patients and families to seek guidance and verification from NCS before public fundraising,” it added.
“The Society has a dedicated system to support patients with transparency and credibility.
“To the public, partners, and donors: please remain vigilant and support only verified channels. Together, we must protect the integrity of cancer advocacy and care.”
Blessing CEO, who had earlier come out on social media to claim she has ‘stage 4’ cancer, later described the entire episode as a “miscommunication”.
She also revealed that she received N13 million in public donations, not the widely circulated N100 million.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently responded to the ongoing controversy surrounding the internet personality, stating that no formal petition has been filed against her despite widespread outrage.
