Deborah Mbara, the woman whose cancer medical report was allegedly doctored by social media influencer Blessing CEO, has finally broken her silence.
Mbara’s response follows a revelation by the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Delta state chapter, that the medical document presented by Blessing CEO actually belonged to another patient.
The association said the document was a “manipulated version” of Mbara’s report, allegedly altered by Blessing to support her own cancer diagnosis.
The controversy began in January when Blessing announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She recently shared a medical report to back up her claim of having stage 4 breast cancer, while soliciting financial support from the public.
The report was allegedly issued by Xinus Medical Diagnostics and signed by O.A. Odigwe, a consultant pathologist.
However, Xinus Medical Diagnostics countered Blessing’s claim, accusing her of altering the report. The diagnostics centre noted that the original document had been issued to Mbara in May 2025.
In a video shared on her Instagram page on Tuesday, Mbara, a makeup artist and cancer survivor, explained how Blessing CEO allegedly obtained her medical report.
She claimed Blessing begged her to share her cancer report so she could make comparisons with hers.
“Sometime last year, Blessing CEO was in Asaba, and I was her makeup artist,” she said.
“Fast forward to last week, when she started crying that she had cancer and had sold off her properties. My friend reached out to her to check up on her. We even got a doctor on the call to help us educate her and encourage her. I was telling her how God saw me through my own journey and the scars.
“Then she said, ‘Zazi, can you please help me send the report of when you were diagnosed so I could compare it with the one my doctor gave me?’ And I said, ‘OK, no problem.’ Only for me to see it on the internet on Friday that it was my result she doctored to back up the nonsense and the money people were donating to her.”
Mbara disclosed that despite Blessing CEO publicly claiming she did not know her and had never spoken to any of her family members, the influencer had actually visited Asaba to apologise in person.
“She said she doesn’t know me and has never spoken to any of my family,” Mbara said.
“But she was in Asaba on Monday to beg my husband and my family. My husband told her to tender a public apology on social media and confess how everything happened.”
Mbara expressed disappointment, saying, “I thought I was helping someone in need, not knowing she had a different agenda. This is evil”.
“I was traumatised by her action,” she added.
The beauty entrepreneur called on the public to respect the truth and stop spreading false narratives.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently responded to the ongoing controversy surrounding the internet personality, stating that no formal petition has been filed against her despite widespread outrage.
