Lizzy Anjorin addresses theft allegations against her

Nigerian actress, Lizzy Anjorin, has denied allegations that she stole gold valued at ₦90,000 in February 2024.

Addressing the allegations of thefts, the actress said the report had no iota of truth as the act was far beneath her.

To back her point, Anjorin said the price for a gram of gold was N150,000, wondering why the gold in question was worth ₦91,000.

She pointed out that a gram of gold is greatly smaller than a grain of rice, questioning how one could steal something so minute.

She said, “Let’s first establish the fact that we’re talking about ₦91,000 gold when a gram of gold was 150,000. A gram of gold is less than a grain of rice so how can you go into the market to steal something less than a grain of rice, a single rice?”

In addition, she said, “I’m a certified jewellery seller, I sell gold and diamonds. I am also a certified fabric merchant so how can I stoop so low to go to Eko Idumota to steal a gram of gold? Something that is less than a grain of rice? That is ridiculous. I am not a thief, I will never be a thief. I am too straightforward and too disciplined to become a thief.”

She also recounted the events of February 5, 2024, when a viral video surfaced showing her in a shop.

In the video, she was seen avoiding being filmed and moving to a less visible spot, while a crowd gathered, and a woman’s voice could be heard stating that Anjorin did not steal.

Anjorin later took to social media to claim she was framed by an individual she referred to as “Shekpeteri.”
