Amid the controversy surrounding self-acclaimed relationship expert Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, over her stage four cancer claim, the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has weighed in on the matter.
This follows the circulation of a histology report online allegedly linked to her.
In a statement issued by the Delta State chapter of the NMA, jointly signed by its Chairman, Israel Adaigho, and Secretary, Usamah Hannah, the association noted that the report in question was purportedly issued by Xinus Medical Diagnostics and signed by consultant pathologist, O. A. Odigwe.
However, the association clarified that the proprietor of the diagnostic centre had denied issuing any such report to Blessing Okoro.
Part of the statement read: “Our attention has been drawn to an online histology report purportedly issued to Blessing Okoro, aka Blessing CEO, by Xinus Medical Diagnostics, allegedly located in Enugu State, and signed by Dr. O.A. Odigwe.
“The proprietor of Xinus Medical Diagnostics, Dr. O.A. Odigwe, who is also a member of the NMA Delta State chapter, has clarified that the centre is located in Asaba, Delta State, and did not at any time issue any report to Blessing Okoro.
“The centre was contacted in May 2025 by a doctor from a private hospital in Asaba to conduct a confirmatory test for a suspected case of breast cancer involving a patient, Mbara Deborah. The test was carried out, and the result was issued to the referring doctor on May 9, 2025.
“A copy of that result is the one currently being circulated online by the law firm, Allen Juris Law, bearing the name Mbara Deborah as the patient. That version is the original report issued through the patient’s hospital.”
Recall that Blessing CEO had recently appealed to the public for financial assistance, claiming she was battling stage four cancer. However, following widespread backlash and allegations that the medical report she shared had been altered, she later retracted her claim.
