South African-born Nigerian beauty queen, Chidimma Adetshina’s participation in the Miss Universe pageant is now being threatened.
Just recently, it was gathered that South Africans launched a petition to stop Chidimma from being allowed to participate in the global event.
A South African group called the Progressive Forces for South Africa wrote a letter to the Miss Universe organisers to share their grievances with Chidimma whom they accused of committing identity fraud.

According to the petition, they were greatly concerned that Chidimma’s mother, Anabela Rungo, was found guilty of the crime before her daughter’s participation in the Miss Universe Nigeria competition.
It was stated that an activist, Kwena Molekwa, risked her life to uncover some of the alleged crimes linked to Chidimma and her family, including identity theft, dealing with illegal substances and more.
The letter also explained that proof of the allegations that Chidimma’s mum stole the identity of a South African child was shared on X and that the Nigerian embassy granted the 22-year-old model a diplomatic passport for her to be able to participate in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant.
The Progressive Forces of South Africa pleaded with the Miss Universe organisers to cancel Chidimma’s entry so that they would not lose their good image.
