A South African group, known as the Progressive Forces for South Africa, has launched a petition to stop Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, from competing in the forthcoming Miss Universe Pageant.
Adetshina is currently in Mexico to represent Nigeria in the pageant billed to take place on November 16, 2024.
In an open letter to the Miss Universe, the group said: “We are truly excited about the upcoming edition of the biggest event in the pageant industry since a Miss Universe crown is a career-defining moment for a title holder from different corners of the world.
“Even though we are excited, we are greatly concerned about Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, whose mother, Anabela Rungo, was found guilty of committing identity fraud before participating in Miss Universe Nigeria.
A well-known activist, Kwena Molekwa, risked her own life and that of her team, working tirelessly to gather the facts regarding this contestant.
