    Reports making rounds online claimed the actor died in a Lagos hospital on Monday after quietly battling the illness for several months.

    The development has continued to trigger emotional reactions across social media, with fans, colleagues and celebrities mourning the actor’s reported passing.

    Blessing CEO reacts

    Cancer controversy resurfaces

    Blessing CEO’s reaction also reignited conversations surrounding the controversy that trailed her own cancer claims earlier this year.

    However, the claim later generated backlash after the Nigerian Medical Association accused her of allegedly altering another patient’s medical report from Xinus Medical Diagnostics.

    The medical document, reportedly signed by consultant pathologist Dr O.A. Odigwe, became a major topic online as many questioned its authenticity.

    VeryDarkMan petitioned police

    Amid the controversy, social media critic VeryDarkMan also submitted a petition approved by the Inspector-General of Police, requesting an investigation into the matter.

    Meanwhile, reactions to Alex Ekubo’s reported death have continued to dominate conversations online, with many Nigerians discussing cancer awareness, silent health battles and the emotional toll terminal illnesses place on patients and families.

  • Sarah Martins Denies Blessing CEO’s Cancer Claim, Calls it a Fundraising Stunt

    Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has publicly challenged the cancer disclosure made by popular relationship therapist and content creator Blessing Okoro, widely known as Blessing CEO, describing the announcement as a manipulative attempt to generate public sympathy and solicit funds for her partner.

    The actress posted her claims on Instagram on Wednesday evening, hours after Blessing CEO’s tearful cancer video had gone viral and attracted widespread concern from Nigerians online.

    What Blessing CEO said

    Earlier this week, Blessing CEO published an emotional video in which she broke down in tears, disclosed that she had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and asked Nigerians to pray for her. The video generated significant sympathy across social media, with thousands of followers sending messages of support and inquiring about how to assist her.

    Sarah Martins’ counter-claims

    In her Instagram post, Martins flatly denied the cancer claim, alleging that Blessing CEO resides in the Lakwe area of Lagos and commutes regularly by bus alongside IVD. She also alleged that a Mercedes-Benz recently displayed as a gift was staged for public attention rather than a genuine acquisition. “There’s no money anywhere,” she said.

    Martins went further, alleging that both Blessing CEO and IVD are currently experiencing financial difficulties, claiming that assets had been sold to manage their expenses. She described the cancer announcement as a deliberate strategy designed to attract public empathy and donations. “This cancer story is a manipulative stunt to gain sympathy and empathy from Nigerians in order to raise money to start a business for IVD,” she alleged.

    Important editorial note

    It is critical to state clearly that Sarah Martins’ claims are unverified allegations. RNN.NG has not independently confirmed or denied Blessing CEO’s medical condition. A cancer diagnosis is a serious and sensitive medical matter, and no third party — including Sarah Martins — is in a position to confirm or disprove it without access to verified medical records.

    Blessing CEO has not responded directly to Martins’ allegations as of the time of this report.

    The controversy comes amid an already tense public dynamic surrounding Blessing CEO and IVD, with the two having previously been the subject of online scrutiny over their relationship and financial lifestyle. Many Nigerians online are now calling for verified medical evidence before drawing conclusions, while others have sided with Martins’ scepticism.

    Blessing CEO is widely known as a relationship commentator with a large social media following, and has previously been at the centre of several public controversies involving Nigerian celebrities.
