NMA Declares Blessing CEO’s Breast Cancer Claim Fake, Links Her to Forged Medical Records

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has publicly accused influencer Blessing Okoro, popularly known as “Blessing CEO,” of deceitfully circulating a false breast cancer diagnosis to solicit donations.

The association confirmed that the medical report she shared was not genuine and was manipulated from another patient’s records.

According to the Delta State branch of the NMA, an investigation revealed that the histology report Blessing Okoro claimed as her own was issued on May 9, 2025, by Xinus Medical Diagnostics in Asaba, Delta State.

The report was actually for a patient named Mbara Deborah, referred by a private hospital doctor, and was not issued to Okoro at any point.

The NMA stated that the proprietor of Xinus Medical Diagnostics, Dr. O. A. Odigwe, confirmed the report’s authenticity and clarified that the clinic, located in Asaba, did not issue any such document to Blessing Okoro.

Dr. Odigwe further disclosed that the original report was part of a diagnostic process for Mbara Deborah and is the same document currently being circulated online by the law firm Allen Juris Law, along with her name.

When confronted, Okoro admitted to receiving public donations but refused to apologize, claiming she was motivated by genuine health concerns.

In an official statement signed by NMA Delta State Chairman Dr. Israel Adaigho and Secretary Dr. Usamah Hannah, the association emphasized the importance of maintaining professional integrity and warned against such deception, which could mislead the public and undermine trust.

The statement urged authorities to intervene and prevent further exploitation:

“Our attention has been drawn to an online histology report purportedly issued to one Blessing Okoro, AKA Blessing CEO, by XINUS MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS allegedly located in Enugu State. The said histology report was also alleged to have been signed by Dr O. A. Odigwe, a consultant pathologist.

‎”The proprietor of Xinus Medical Diagnostics, Dr O.A. Odigwe who is also a member of the Nigeria Medical Association, Delta State Chapter has reached us and has offered the following information to clear the air on the true position of the result as follows: That Xinus Medical Diagnostics is located in Asaba, Delta State and did not at anytime issue any report to BLESSING OKORO.

‎”That Xinus Medical Diagnostics was actually contacted in May 2025 by a doctor from a private hospital in Asaba to do a confirmatory test on a possible case of breast cancer for his patient, Mbara Deborah. That the test was done and the result issued to the referring doctor as a case of Breast Cancer on the 9th of May, 2025.

“That a copy of that result is the one being circulated online by the Law firm- Allen Juris Law, with the name Mbara Deborah as the patient. That the result online from the law firm is the original version issued to the patient through her hospital.

‎”This clarification is deemed necessary in view of what the altered report being paraded by Blessing Okoro is now being used for. The members of the public should therefore be guided accordingly.

‎”The integrity of our association and its members is very paramount and should not therefore be taken for granted. We call on the authorities responsible for maintaining law and order to do the needful and save the unsuspecting members of the public from being taken undue advantage of.”
