Relationship expert Blessing CEO has begun refunding Nigerians who donated money for her alleged cancer treatment
The influencer, who made a quiet return to social media on Tuesday, April 21, shared screenshots of bank transfers showing that she had started returning funds to contributors.

Another donor, identified as Mr Samuel, was also refunded ₦1 million, according to the screenshots shared.
The development comes after growing pressure from donors who demanded their money back following doubts about the cancer narrative.
The controversy began after questions surfaced regarding Blessing CEO’s claims about battling cancer and soliciting public donations for treatment.
Some contributors accused her of misleading the public, insisting they donated in good faith based on the information shared at the time.
The situation escalated further when the family of Mbara Deborah reportedly filed a petition with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, accusing the influencer of forging medical documents and using them to solicit donations.
VDM petition IGP over Blessing CEO
In a similar move, VDM also claimed he submitted a petition to the office of the Inspector-General of Police in Abuja.
According to him, the petition accused Blessing CEO of obtaining money under false pretences, forgery, false representation, and conduct likely to defraud the public.
VDM explained that he had donated ₦150 directly to Blessing CEO’s account after she publicly announced she was suffering from stage 4 cancer and appealed for financial support.
The social media critic narrated that the donation left him financially strained and eventually contributed to severe ulcers, which required costly medical treatment.
According to him, when he later discovered that Blessing CEO did not have the disease, he decided to pursue legal action to ensure accountability.
The Ratel President emphasised that many Nigerians genuinely struggle with serious health conditions and depend on public goodwill to raise money for treatment, making false claims particularly harmful.
He emphasised that the police investigation would go ahead without interference and urged citizens not to support actions that exploit compassion

"The refund by Blessing CEO raises serious questions about accountability in crowdfunding and the ease with which emotional narratives can mobilise public funds without verification.
