Police shares more details about Liz’s case

Narrating what happened at the scene of the incident, Hundeyin said the seller of the gold gave Anjorin wrong account details to transfer the N90, 000 but one digit was incorrect.

However, the movie star transferred the money to the account and the error was blamed on her and this led to her being tagged a thief.

The role interpreter took up the assault case with the police and arrest was made. After the case was taken to the court, Lizzy said she was no longer interested and the case was withdrawn.

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.”
