Miss Universe in Deportation Battle | Nigeria News

Miss Universe Nigeria Chidimma Adetshina faces deportation from South Africa after being arrested for allegedly overstaying her visa, with immigration officials claiming she and her son lack legal residency. Born to a Nigerian father and Mozambican mother, her citizenship has been under scrutiny since her Miss South Africa withdrawal sparked controversy. Despite winning Miss Universe Nigeria and placing as first runner-up globally, she’s now labeled a “prohibited person” by the government, accused of using a fake bank statement and re-entering the country falsely claiming South African citizenship. Her court battle continues as officials refuse to reconsider their decision, with her son’s application also denied. The case hinges on whether she can legally remain — and whether justice or politics will prevail. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
