Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin on Monday addressed allegations that she stole gold from a market in Lagos Island, sparking controversy.

A video circulating on social media shows her sitting in a store, attempting to defend herself.

In the video, which is now viral, Lizzy, who wore a facemask, tried to stop the recording.

In the clip, the embarrassed actress tried to stop the person making the video from capturing her face and what was happening.

In the video, Lizzy moved from her seat to a place where her face was not visible. A woman’s voice was heard in the background, saying Anjorin didn’t steal. Meanwhile, people in the store watched the events unfold as the shop owner tried to chase some of the onlookers out.

Lizzy Anjorin, who denied stealing gold as alleged in the popular video, said the incident is about a purported failed transfer of N91,000 that she paid to an accessory seller on Tom Jones in the Idumota area of Lagos.

She alleged that she was set up just like filmmaker Olajide Kareem, alias Seun Egbegbe.

She alleged that some months ago she had gone to the market to buy accessories for N91,000 and asked her husband to forward the money to a guy who sold the accessories to her.

Lizzy Anjorin explained that she went to the same market today, only to be told that the transfer she made on the aforesaid day was considered fraudulent.

There is an uproar on social media, especially on the micro-blogging platform Twitter now known as X, over a viral photo of Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s son, Oseloka.

The young lad, who is a Hollywood actor, movie producer, and businessman was featured in a gay publication which has left many questioning his sexuality.

The British-Nigerian actor was seen on the front page of a UK Gay Times publication, defending the queer community.

The photo has since created an uproar online as some defended his father while others dragged the Labour Party presidential candidate for raising a gay son.

One Frank tweeted, “Evil that men do is in them not after them. This is Oseloka Obi, Peter Obi’s son, like father-like son.

One Ayodeji Oyewumi wrote, “You can vote for Tinubu whose daughter is queer but you won’t vote for Peter Obi cos his actor son acted a gay role in a movie. Last last many black folks will still be used for future experiments by Oyinbo. Something is deeply missing in the brain.

Controversial reality TV star Josephina Otabor has seemingly apologised for claiming that men are “so cheap” when it comes to sexual relationships.

LeadingReporters learnt that the reality star had in the latest episode of her podcast, Spill With Phyna, claimed that men are “cheap” and mostly grovel when women make slight advances towards them.
