Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has publicly criticized controversial relationship expert Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, following allegations that her reported cancer diagnosis was fabricated. This controversy arose after questions arose regarding the authenticity of medical documents circulating online to support these claims.
Blessing, the CEO, previously told his followers that he was battling stage four cancer and asked for financial help to fund immediate treatment and surgery. The announcement sparked mixed reactions, with some sympathetic and others expressing skepticism towards the request.
Doubts grew after alleged test results related to his diagnosis emerged online, with observers noting inconsistencies and an inability to verify laboratory details. A video then circulated claiming that the document was fake, further sparking public scrutiny and debate across social media platforms.
Responding to the development in a post on Tuesday, Martins issued a strong response, describing CEO Blessing as deceptive and accusing him of misleading the public. He stated that he had previously questioned the claims and faced backlash from those who believed the disease was genuine.
Martins urged people who had donated money to ask for refunds, and stressed that the current evidence points to a fabricated narrative. He also criticized what he described as a pattern of influence-driven behavior, and alleged that the controversy reflected a broader problem of misinformation for personal gain.
The actress also called out others who supported the fundraiser, including Etinosa Idemudia, questioning the speed at which the funds were sent. The situation continues to generate reactions online, with renewed calls for accountability and verification in public fundraising appeals.
