Controversial Nigerian influencer Blessing CEO has quietly returned to Instagram weeks after vanishing from the platform over the backlash surrounding her alleged stage four breast cancer diagnosis, a claim now tied to a major fraud controversy.
A check on her Instagram page shows that all posts connected to her cancer announcement have been wiped, including interviews and documents she previously shared as proof of her diagnosis. The only related content left on her page is a documentary-style breast health awareness post.
The drama began in January when Blessing CEO announced that she was battling stage four breast cancer and appealed to the public for financial support. To back her claims, she released what she described as her medical report.
However, the situation took a dramatic turn when Xinus Medical Diagnostics publicly denied the authenticity of the report, alleging that the document had been tampered with. According to the medical centre, the original report belonged to Deborah Mbara, a makeup artist and cancer survivor, and had been issued in May 2025.
Deborah later accused Blessing CEO of using her medical report without her permission, sparking outrage online and raising serious questions about the legitimacy of the fundraising campaign.
The controversy escalated further when Deborah’s family filed a petition with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accusing Blessing CEO of forgery, cyberbullying, and orchestrating a fake fundraising scheme. The petition alleged that she raised over ₦300 million from unsuspecting members of the public under false pretences.
The Nigerian Cancer Society also demanded a full investigation, calling on the authorities to uncover the truth and ensure accountability.
After deactivating her Instagram account as the scandal intensified, Blessing CEO has now resurfaced online but notably, she has remained silent on the allegations, leaving many questioning what her next move will be.
