The Digest:

Nigerian influencer Blessing CEO has returned to Instagram weeks after facing public backlash over claims of stage four breast cancer. She has deleted all posts related to her cancer claim, including interviews, while retaining one documentary post on breast checks. The controversy began in January when she solicited financial support. Xinus Medical Diagnostics accused her of altering a medical report originally issued to a makeup artist named Deborah Mbara. Mbara's family has filed a petition with the EFCC, alleging a multi-million naira scam.

Key Points:
  • Blessing CEO allegedly defrauded Nigerians of over N300 million.
  • The Nigerian Cancer Society has demanded an investigation.
  • Deborah Mbara, the original cancer patient, has narrated how her report was allegedly obtained.
  • The influencer deactivated her account after the backlash.
  • Her return to Instagram has removed all evidence of the cancer claims.

Blessing CEO faces potential EFCC investigation over the alleged fundraising scam.
