Blessing CEO exposed over ‘fake’ cancer diagnosis
Days after her diagnosis announcement and fundraising efforts, Blessing CEO was challenged to prove the authenticity of her claims.
In response to critics, she shared an alleged document from a hospital confirming that she had been diagnosed with cancer.
However, reports have now emerged that she used another person’s letter and edited it to claim it as her own.
Nigerian journalist Stella Dimoko Korkus reported on the development, slamming Blessing CEO in a post on Instagram.
"Serial liar, Blessing CEO, is demanded to tender an explanation as to why she faked a medical report to extort money from Nigerians. She took someone's cancer result, and the person has gotten her lawyer to write Ble ble," she wrote.
Korkus shared a screenshot of the lawyer's letter, which warned the content creator of legal consequences for her actions.
"We respectfully implore you to provide a public clarification regarding the alteration of a medical report, reportedly claimed as yours, which was utilised to solicit funds from benevolent individuals, in the interest of transparency and fairness. To be forewarned is to be forearmed," the letter read, in part.
