IVD Makes Unusual Move Amid Growing Calls for Blessing CEO’s Arrest Over Cancer Claim

  • IVD took a sudden action on social media amid growing backlash trailing his lover, Blessing CEO, over her controversial stage 4 cancer claim
  • The development came after Blessing CEO admitted that her stage 4 cancer claim was a miscommunication despite earlier emotional appeals and fundraising efforts
  • This latest move by IVD has sparked heated reactions and speculations from Nigerians who are calling for the arrest of Blessing CEO

A dramatic twist has set social media buzzing as businessman Ikechukwu Ogbonna, widely known as IVD, took a serious step that immediately drew attention in the middle of the storm surrounding his partner, Blessing Okoro, also called Blessing CEO.

For weeks, Blessing CEO has dominated headlines after claiming she was battling stage four breast cancer.

Nigerians responded with donations, and she later admitted in an interview that she had received about thirteen million naira.

Blessing CEO's claims began to collapse when a woman accused her of editing medical reports that actually belonged to her.

Several videos of interviews with Blessing CEO revealed inconsistencies, and Nigerians began to call for her arrest and demand a refund of their donations. Social media activist VeryDarkMan and businessman Oil Money also requested refunds to be made.

The backlash grew stronger when the controversial relationship expert later said the cancer claim was a miscommunication, and bluntly stated that she would not refund anyone, insisting that nobody was forced to contribute.

On the night of April 4, 2026, Blessing CEO deactivated her Instagram account, leaving Nigerians in suspicion.

Shortly after, IVD followed with the same move, shutting down his own page. Checks on his page showed that the account is no longer available, confirming that his Instagram account has been deliberately disabled.

This unusual action has sparked heated reactions online, with many Nigerians suggesting the pair may be planning to flee with the donations, while others continue to demand their immediate arrest.

Blessing CEO denies assault claims

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Blessing CEO clapped back at social media users pushing domestic violence allegations against her lover, IVD.

Rumours had emerged on social media accusing IVD of assaulting Blessing CEO after she posted a video appearing distressed with a caption reading: "If you have my number, please call me. I am in distress, I am not safe."
