Nigerian film actress, Lizzy Anjorin has responded to a video that went viral showing her purportedly taking gold from a Lagos market.

Controversial blogger Gistlover claimed that Lizzy Anjorin was apprehended at the market after purportedly attempting to purchase the gold with a fictitious bank transfer.

The screen diva has responded to the accusations by denying them in an Instagram live video.

She claims that Iyabo Ojo, a colleague, is circulating false information about her and that she merely went to the market to buy clothes and accessories.

In Lizzy Anjorin’s words:

“Do they sell gold at Tom Jones, because that place is Tom Jones where they sell wedding materials like stones for a wedding gown because I do wedding gowns?

Shepeteri (Iyabo Ojo) how come you are the first person who posted the story if you are not the one behind it.”
