In the video, Blessing CEO was seen holding hands with a woman who passionately prayed for her. The woman was heard praying for God's intervention and Blessing's recovery.
Recall that many Nigerians and celebrities have been dragging Blessing CEO on social media over claims that raised doubts about her health condition.
Several donors, including social media critic VeryDarkMan and businessman Oil Money, have been calling for refunds of their donations to the cause of her alleged cancer treatment, which they now see as lies.
During an interview yesterday, Blessing revealed that she does not have stage 4 cancer. She mocked those who donated to her and claimed she would never apologise or refund money to anyone since she didn't force anyone to donate.
Following the revelation, she deactivated her Instagram account last night.
The latest click showing her under intense prayer has spread across social media, sparking fresh criticism and renewed calls for her arrest.
Nigerians expressed anger that, after misleading people into donating millions, she was now appearing in a spiritual setting instead of addressing the controversy directly.

No treatment recommendations and the next thing was voommm soliciting for financial support for treatment. As how..?? Naaah, Naija people sef. The way some of una behave sef, I tire."

"So the cancer disappeared, then reappeared again, now it's prayer and fasting? This isn't faith, this is emotional rollercoaster for people who donated in good faith. Real cancer patients deserve better than this."
