VDM Petitions To Probe Blessing CEO’s False Claim On Cancer

Popular social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has taken formal legal steps against self-acclaimed relationship expert Blessing Okoro, better known as Blessing CEO, following her controversial claim of battling stage 4 breast cancer.

Blessing CEO has been in the headlines for weeks after claiming that she is battling breast cancer and pleaded for public donations, which has sparked widespread reactions online and calls for her arrest from Nigerians, including celebrities such as Nkechi Blessing and Sarah Martins.

In a video shared through his Instagram account on Tuesday evening, VDM stated that he submitted a petition to the Inspector-General of Police in Abuja, accusing Blessing CEO of obtaining money under false pretences, forgery, false representation and conduct likely to defraud the public.

He said the petition was approved for full investigation on 7 April 2026. From breaking news to viral moments. Follow Legit.ng on Instagram.

The social media critic narrated that the donation left him financially strained and eventually contributed to severe ulcers, which required costly medical treatment. According to him, when he later discovered that Blessing CEO did not have the disease, he decided to pursue legal action to ensure accountability.
