The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Delta State chapter, has distanced itself from a histology report circulating online, which was allegedly linked to relationship coach Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO.

The association stated that the document in question was an altered version of an original medical report issued to a different patient diagnosed with breast cancer.

This clarification was made in a statement jointly signed by the NMA Delta State Chairman, Dr. Israel Adaigho, and Secretary, Dr. Usamah Hannah, as reported by ZINGTIE on Tuesday.

The NMA explained that the report being circulated online was supposedly issued by Xinus Medical Diagnostics and signed by consultant pathologist, Dr. O.A. Odigwe.

However, the association clarified that the proprietor of the diagnostic centre had confirmed that the document did not belong to Blessing Okoro.

According to the statement, Xinus Medical Diagnostics is based in Asaba, Delta State, not in Enugu State as claimed in the viral report.

The NMA further explained that the centre was contacted in May 2025 by a doctor from a private hospital in Asaba to conduct a confirmatory test for a patient named Mbara Deborah, who was suspected to have breast cancer.

The test was performed, and the result was issued to the referring doctor on May 9, 2025, confirming the diagnosis of breast cancer.

The NMA stated that the original report, bearing the name Mbara Deborah, is the same document now being circulated online by the law firm Allen Juris Law.

The association added that the report being shared by Blessing Okoro appears to be a modified version of the original result.

The statement reads in part: “Our attention has been drawn to an online histology report purportedly issued to one Blessing Okoro, aka Blessing CEO, by Xinus Medical Diagnostics allegedly located in Enugu State. The said histology report was also alleged to have been signed by Dr. O.A. Odigwe, a consultant pathologist.”

“The proprietor of Xinus Medical Diagnostics, Dr. O.A. Odigwe, who is also a member of the Nigerian Medical Association, Delta State chapter, has reached us and offered the following clarification: that Xinus Medical Diagnostics is located in Asaba, Delta State and did not at any time issue any report to Blessing Okoro.”

“The centre was contacted in May 2025 by a doctor from a private hospital in Asaba to do a confirmatory test on a possible case of breast cancer for a patient, Mbara Deborah. The test was done and the result issued to the referring doctor as a case of breast cancer on May 9, 2025.”

“A copy of that result is the one currently being circulated online by the law firm, Allen Juris Law, with the name Mbara Deborah as the patient. That result from the law firm is the original version issued to the patient through her hospital.”

The NMA stated that the clarification was necessary due to the purported use of the altered report for unspecified purposes.

It urged the public to exercise caution and warned against actions that could undermine the integrity of medical professionals.

The NMA also called on relevant authorities to take the necessary steps to protect unsuspecting members of the public from being exploited.

ZINGTIE recalls that Blessing CEO had recently sought financial assistance from the public for the treatment of what she had described as stage four cancer.

However, after facing backlash and allegations online that the medical report she shared had been tampered with, the relationship coach later reversed her initial claim.

In an interview amid the controversy, she stated, “I don’t have stage 4 cancer. That was a miscommunication.”

Following this, she deactivated her social media account.
