“I am too disciplined, classy to become a thief” – Actress Lizzy Anjorin

In an interview with media personality Timi Agbaje, Anjorin denied the accusations, stressing that theft was far beneath her.

She noted the improbability of the claim by noting that the gold in question was worth ₦91,000, while the price for a gram of gold was ₦150,000.

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?”

Anjorin expressed her anger over the allegations, calling them “ridiculous.”

She clarified her position, stating,

“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.”
