The Delta State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has disowned a histology report circulating online that was allegedly linked to relationship coach Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO.
In a statement jointly signed by NMA Delta State Chairman, Dr. Israel Adaigho, and Secretary, Dr. Usamah Hannah, the association said the document was altered from an original medical report issued to a different patient diagnosed with breast cancer.
The report in question, reportedly issued by Xinus Medical Diagnostics and signed by consultant pathologist Dr. O.A. Odigwe, was falsely claimed to belong to Okoro. The diagnostic centre confirmed that the document did not pertain to her.
NMA clarified that Xinus Medical Diagnostics is located in Asaba, Delta State—not Enugu as circulated online—and had conducted the test for a patient named Mbara Deborah in May 2025.
The original test confirmed a breast cancer diagnosis for Deborah, with results issued to her referring doctor on May 9, 2025. According to the NMA, this original report is the same document now circulating online, allegedly edited and associated with Okoro.
The association warned that the altered report was being used in a misleading context, cautioning the public against acts that could compromise the integrity of medical practitioners.
NMA urged relevant authorities to prevent the public from being misled by falsified medical documents and to uphold law and order regarding such cases.
The controversy follows Blessing CEO’s recent solicitation for financial support for what she described as stage four cancer treatment. Allegations of report manipulation prompted backlash and raised doubts about her claims.
Amid the dispute, Okoro later clarified in an interview: “I don’t have stage 4 cancer. That was a miscommunication,” before deactivating her social media accounts.
The NMA called for careful verification of medical information online and stressed that the integrity of health reports must be preserved to protect both patients and practitioners.
