Mrs Deborah Mbara has spoken publicly after her medical report was allegedly doctored by Blessing CEO, deepening the controversy surrounding the influencer’s false cancer claim.
The development follows an earlier report in which the Nigerian Medical Association confirmed that the cancer diagnosis circulated by Blessing CEO was forged, revealing that the document originally belonged to another patient and had been altered. The association also called for her arrest over the alleged forgery.
Reacting in a video shared on her Instagram page, Mbara, a makeup artist and cancer survivor, explained how she came into contact with Blessing CEO and eventually shared her medical report.
“Sometime last year, Blessing CEO was in Asaba, and I was her makeup artist. Fast forward to last week, when she started crying that she had cancer, and sold off her properties. My friend reached out to her to check up on her. And 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, and the scars.
“Then she said, ‘Zazi, can you just please help me send the report of when you were diagnosed so I could compare it with the one my doctor gave to me.’ And I said ok no problem. Only for me to see it on the Internet on Friday that it was my result that she doctored to back up the nonsense and money people were donating to her.
“She said she doesn’t know me and has never spoken to any of my family. But she was in Asaba on Monday to beg my husband and my family. And my husband told her to tender a public apology on social media and confess how everything happened. I thought I was helping someone in need, not knowing she had a different agenda. This is evil.”
Mbara’s account adds a personal dimension to the growing scandal, which has sparked widespread outrage online and intensified calls for accountability over the alleged misuse of sensitive medical information.
