Lizzy Anjorin Addresses Gold Theft Allegations, Claims Setup in Lagos Market
Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin found herself at the center of controversy on Monday as allegations surfaced that she stole gold from a market in Lagos Island. In response to the circulating video on social media, Anjorin took to a store to address the accusations and clarify the situation.
Key Points:
Video Circulation: A video widely shared on social media captured Lizzy Anjorin sitting in a store, attempting to defend herself against accusations of gold theft. The actress, wearing a facemask, tried to prevent the person recording from capturing her face.
Embarrassed Defense: In the viral video, Anjorin moved from her seat to a location where her face was not visible, attempting to shield herself from the recording. A woman’s voice in the background defended Anjorin, asserting that she did not steal. Onlookers observed the unfolding events, and the shop owner attempted to remove some of them.
Denial and Explanation: Lizzy Anjorin denied the allegations of stealing gold and explained that the incident revolved around a failed transfer of N91,000 for accessories purchased in the Idumota area of Lagos. She claimed she was set up, drawing a parallel with filmmaker Seun Egbegbe’s experience.
Failed Transfer: Anjorin clarified that months ago, she bought accessories worth N91,000 and requested her husband to transfer the money to the seller. Upon returning to the market, she discovered that the previous transfer was considered fraudulent.
Accusation Against Fellow Actress: Anjorin accused a famous actress (name withheld) of being behind the mishap, questioning how quickly the person knew the story if not involved. She emphasized that the market in question was known for wedding materials and accessories, not gold.
Lizzy Anjorin confronted the allegations head-on, providing her side of the story in response to the video circulating on social media.
