Popular Nigerian social media critic, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has revealed that a petition he submitted against controversial relationship therapist, Blessing Okoro, has been approved for investigation by the Inspector General of Police (IGP).
The development follows the controversy surrounding Blessing Okoro’s recent claim that she is battling stage four cancer.
On March 25, 2026, Blessing Okoro posted a viral video on her Instagram page, where she tearfully alleged that she had been diagnosed with stage four cancer. In the video, she also displayed signs of hair loss, which she attributed to the illness.
Following the announcement, she also disclosed that she had started auctioning some of her properties to raise funds for her cancer treatment.
However, the situation took a different turn after the Nigerian Medical Association disowned a histology report circulating online that had been linked to Blessing Okoro.
Reacting to the incident, Martins Vincent Otse said he decided to file a petition after personally donating money to Blessing Okoro, believing her claim.
In a video shared via his official Instagram handle on Tuesday, VDM explained that he was moved by compassion after watching the video in which she shaved her hair.
“I believed her because she shaved her hair and I felt compassion. On that very day, I didn’t have anything left in my account, but I still transferred money to her,” he said.
He expressed disappointment over the situation, stressing that many people genuinely battling Cancer deserve empathy and support.
“There are a lot of people living with cancer. How can someone come out and joke with something like this?” he added.
VDM also disclosed that he had formally lodged a petition with the police over the matter.
“I have written a petition against Blessing CEO and the Inspector General of Police has assigned it for investigation,” he stated.
