I did not steal anyone’s identity – Chidimma Adetshina

Crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, has addressed alleged identity theft by the South African Government.

In an interview on Arise News, the 23-year-old denied stealing anyone’s identity, stating that she is waiting for the conclusion of the case before making further comments.

Adetshina, who was born in Soweto, South Africa, to a Nigerian father and Mozambican mother, faced criticism during her Miss South Africa contestant announcement.

The South African Department of Home Affairs alleged that her mother committed fraud and identity theft.

However, Adetshina maintained that she did not steal anyone’s identity and is avoiding commenting on the matter until all the facts are revealed.

She explained that she exited the Miss South Africa pageant to pursue her dream of competing in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, adding that she is not running away from the allegations but rather focusing on her goals.

“I did not steal anyone’s identity. I’m just waiting for the conclusion of the case and the whole matter. Then moving forward I will know exactly what to say because I feel right now if I say something and another thing comes out tomorrow. I’m just avoiding all those two things contradicting each other.

“I really avoided the questions because it is a legal matter and I don’t have all the facts around the matter, but what I can say is that I was not running away from any of that. I was just running because I knew I had a dream that I wanted to fulfil.

” I’m not fully aware of the matter. But what I can speak on is that I know I did not steal anyone’s identity,” she said.
