Nigerian influencer Blessing Okoro Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has resurfaced on social media weeks after facing intense backlash over her controversial breast cancer claim.
The issue began in January when the influencer announced she had been diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. At the time, she shared what she presented as a medical report and appealed to the public for financial assistance.
However, the situation took a dramatic turn when Xinus Medical Diagnostics disputed her claims. The facility alleged that the document she circulated had been tampered with, stating that the original report actually belonged to a different patient, Deborah Mbara, and was issued in May 2025.
Mbara, a makeup artist and cancer survivor, later came forward to explain how her medical record was allegedly accessed and misused. Her account intensified public scrutiny and fueled calls for accountability.
Following the revelation, Mbara’s family submitted a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accusing Blessing CEO of cyberbullying, document forgery, and masterminding a large-scale fundraising scam. The petition claimed she collected over N300 million from unsuspecting Nigerians by exploiting the survivor’s health condition.
The Nigerian Cancer Society also weighed in, urging authorities to investigate the matter and ensure appropriate action is taken.

Amid the growing controversy, Blessing CEO temporarily deactivated her Instagram account. She has now returned to the platform, but with noticeable changes.
A review of her page by Prompt News shows that she has deleted all posts connected to the cancer claim, including past interviews. The only related content she left behind is a documentary-style post focused on educating women about proper breast examination.
