Fresh Trouble: Blessing CEO Under Fire As Economic And Financial Crimes Commission, Police Launch Probe

The Delta State Police Command confirmed it has received a petition on the matter and has commenced preliminary steps to probe the claims.

The case stems from accusations that the influencer allegedly faked a cancer diagnosis and used a manipulated medical report to solicit financial support from the public.

Speaking on the development, the Police Public Relations Officer in Delta State, Bright Edafe, said the command is awaiting formal statements from complainants before proceeding fully with the investigation.

Similarly, EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale confirmed that the agency has received a petition and will review the matter, noting that the outcome of its findings will determine the next course of action.

The controversy began after Blessing CEO publicly claimed she was battling cancer, attracting sympathy and support from followers. However, doubts emerged due to inconsistencies in her story, prompting widespread criticism and scrutiny.

The Nigerian Medical Association in Delta State later disowned the medical report linked to her, explaining that it originally belonged to another patient.

According to reports, the document was issued by Xinus Medical Diagnostics in Asaba to a breast cancer survivor, Deborah Mbara, who has since accused the influencer of altering her medical record to obtain donations from the public.
