Nigeria’s Police has formally opened an investigation into content creator and serial liar Blessing CEO after activist VDM filed a petition accusing her of faking cancer for sympathy and financial gain.

According to the petition, VDM claims Blessing CEO misled the public with her cancer narrative and demands that authorities verify the authenticity of her medical claims. 

The is coming amid growing backlash over Blessing CEO’s claim that she is battling stage‑four cancer.

On March 25, 2026, she posted a viral Instagram video tearfully announcing the diagnosis, showing signs of hair loss and later revealing she had begun auctioning her properties to fund treatment.

The narrative shifted after the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Delta State chapter, disowned a histology report linked to her, stating it was allegedly altered from an original medical report belonging to another breast‑cancer patient.
With the IGP now authorizing a probe, the controversy has escalated from online debate to a formal investigation.
