Petition Seeks to Bar Miss Universe Nigeria from Pageant Amid Identity Theft Allegations
A petition launched by the Progressive Forces has garnered over 500 signatures, calling for Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, to be disqualified from the international pageant due to alleged identity theft.
Adetshina and her mother face criminal charges and potential revocation of their South African identity and travel documents.
Despite controversy, Adetshina arrived in Mexico on a Nigerian passport to compete in the pageant.
The petition argues that allowing her to participate compromises the pageant’s integrity and Africa’s reputation.
This is not Adetshina’s first controversy; she withdrew from Miss South Africa due to similar allegations.
The Miss Universe Organization has not commented on the matter.
