The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and police have begun probing allegations of fraud and forgery levelled against Blessing CEO.
The Delta State Police Command confirmed to Punch that it had received a petition on the matter and had started investigating the allegations.
The development follows accusations that the influencer falsified a cancer diagnosis and used a doctored medical report to solicit donations from the public.
Speaking to the aforementioned publication, the Police Public Relations Officer in Delta State, Edefa Bright, said, “We acknowledge the petitions; we are waiting for the complainants to come and give us their statement. We will thereafter investigate.”
Similarly, the Head of Media and Publicity at the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, said, “There was a petition submitted; we received it, and we are going to look into it. Whatever comes out of our findings will determine our next line of action.”
The controversy surrounding Okoro began after she claimed to be battling cancer, which drew sympathy and support from followers.
However, inconsistencies in her claims triggered widespread backlash, with many questioning the authenticity of the diagnosis.
The Nigerian Medical Association in Delta State disowned the histology report linked to her, stating that the document was originally issued on May 9, 2025, by Xinus Medical Diagnostics in Asaba to a breast cancer survivor, Deborah Mbara, following a referral for a confirmatory breast cancer test.
Mbara later accused the influencer of doctoring her medical report to solicit donations from the public.
