- SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for Lagos state police, revealed that Lizzy Anjorin has been cleared of theft accusation, in a recent conversation with Punch.
- According to Hundeyin, the gold seller gave Lizzy Anjorin wrong account information for a N90,000 transfer, with one digit being off.
Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin-Lawal has been cleared of accusations regarding gold theft at Oba Akintoye Market in Lagos Island in February 2024.
According to SP Benjamin Hundeyin, spokesperson for Lagos state police, the investigation revealed a misunderstanding.
The incident involved a transfer mix-up, with the gold seller providing incorrect account information.
Anjorin-Lawal transferred the funds despite the error, leading to the wrongful accusation.
Hundeyin clarified that Anjorin-Lawal transferred the correct amount, N90,000, to the initial incorrect account and later to the correct account to avoid trouble, despite the mistake not being hers.
She reported the assault to the police, resulting in an arrest.
The police investigation concluded that Anjorin-Lawal’s actions were legitimate, and she has been exonerated from the accusation.
Benjamin Hundeyin added:
“Lizzy Anjorin-Lawal transferred what she was supposed to transfer, which was about N90,000, into the wrong account that she was given and there was a receipt; when it was becoming too hot, she again transferred money to the correct account number they gave her. So, she did a double transfer just to avoid trouble, even though the mistake was not hers.”
