‘I didn’t steal anyone’s Identity’ – Chidinma Adetshina addresses allegations by South Africa (Video)

Chidimma Adetshina, the newly-crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, has addressed the identity theft allegations raised by the South African Department of Home Affairs (DHA).

The accusations emerged following her participation in the Miss South Africa pageant, where preliminary evidence suggested that her mother was involved in fraud and identity theft.

Adetshina, born in 2001 at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, is of mixed heritage—her father is of Igbo descent, and her mother, originally from Mozambique, is a naturalized citizen of South Africa.

Amidst the controversy, Chidimma withdrew from the Miss South Africa contest and accepted an invitation to join the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, which she later won.

In an interview on Arise News, the 23-year-old denied any involvement in identity theft, stating: “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.”
