According to the statement, the physician also refuted claims that he resides in Enugu, noting that he is based in Asaba.

The clarification raised fresh concerns about the credibility of the viral document, which had already been under public scrutiny.

The association further alleged that the medical report paraded by Blessing CEO was altered and originally belonged to another patient identified as Mbara Deborah.

They urged authorities to take necessary steps to prevent members of the public from being misled.

The statement added that the matter had now moved beyond online speculation and required formal attention.

The situation took another turn during an interview on Arise TV, where Nigerian medical doctor Dr Adefunke Arowolo challenged Blessing CEO’s claims.

During the programme, Blessing reportedly presented the same medical document that had earlier gone viral online.

However, unknown to her, the doctor on the show had already contacted the physician whose name appeared on the report.

The revelation strengthened claims that the document circulating online may not belong to the influencer.
