“I didn’t give anybody consent. And I think I’m in the best position to break the news of my son’s death, not an entire stranger,” she said.

Blessing’s statement directly contradicted the fundraising appeal, which reportedly sought N56 million, comprising N20 million for bail and another N36 million linked to financial claims.

Doris Ogala raises alarm

Following her conversation with Blessing, the actress urged anyone who had donated money through the appeal to request a refund.

She insisted that Blessing was already close to completing her bail process and had not authorised the fundraising effort.

"Blessing go shock you I still believed that she sent that lady but she denied it when you called her because she knows what she's doing"

@grandiose_xx noted:

"Bail isn’t paid for.Bonds are paid but they don’t have bonds in Africa.Bail means someone with that amount of bail money stands as a surety so that if Blessing doesn’t show up for subsequent court sessions the person will face the law."
