The newly-crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, has finally addressed the allegation of identity theft by South Africas government.
DAILY POST reports that Chidimma had faced criticism in South Africa during her Miss South Africa contestant announcement.
The South Africa Department of Home Affairs, DHA, revealed that preliminary evidence suggests Chidimmas mother committed fraud and identity theft.
Chidimma was born in Soweto at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in 2001. While her father is of Igbo descent in Nigeria and her mother is a Mozambican who has become a naturalized citizen of South Africa.
She, however, exited the pageant following the allegations and accepted an invitation to join the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant.
