The Nigerian Medical Association’s Delta branch says the medical report making the rounds online belongs to a woman named Mbara Deborah—not social-media personality Blessing Okoro, better known as Blessing CEO.
In a statement signed on Tuesday by its chairman, Israel Adaigho, and secretary, Usamah Hannah, the association said the document had been doctored from an original released by Xinus Medical Diagnostics in Asaba on 9 May 2025 after a private hospital asked the lab to confirm a breast-cancer diagnosis for its patient, Deborah.
“Xinus Medical Diagnostics is located in Asaba, Delta State and did not at any time issue any report to Blessing Okoro,” the statement noted. The lab’s owner, consultant pathologist O.A. Odigwe, alerted the NMA once the altered version went viral.
On Monday, law firm Allen Juris Law uploaded the authentic report bearing Deborah’s name, but an edited copy carrying Okoro’s name is still circulating on blogs. The NMA urged the public to take note of the mix-up and said it “calls on the authorities responsible for maintaining law and order to do the needful.”
The clarification adds another wrinkle to the saga that began on 25 March, when Okoro posted an emotional video claiming she had stage-four breast cancer.
