Nigerian influencer Blessing CEO has apologised for the controversy surrounding her stage four cancer claim, insisting she did not lie about her health issues. She promised to be transparent with her medical reports going forward, including scans and biopsy results. She also offered refunds to those uncomfortable with the controversy, asking donors to provide proof of payment. The Nigerian Cancer Society had called for an investigation after allegations that she raised over N300 million under false pretences.

Key Points:

  • Xinus Medical Diagnostics alleged that the report was altered from another patient.
  • The original patient, Deborah Mbara, said Blessing allegedly obtained her report.
  • Mbara's family petitioned the EFCC over cyberbullying, forgery, and fraud.
  • Blessing shared an MRI video and images of her swollen hand as proof.

Blessing CEO's apology and refund offer come amid ongoing public backlash and potential EFCC investigation.
