Chidimma Adetshina wins beauty pageant in Nigeria after rejection in South Africa

Chidimma Adetshina has emerged winner of Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 pageant.

Wee reported that Chidimma was forced to withdraw from South African beauty pageant.

The 23-year-old law student came to Nigeria after accepting to participate in the competition.

This followed her controversial withdrawal from Miss South Africa 2024 due to xenophobic backlash over her nationality.

Guy Murray-Bruce, President of Silverbird Group, organisers of the competition, announced Adetshina as the winner at the grand finale which held at Eko Hotels & Suites, Lagos, on Saturday night.

The winner represented Taraba State in the keenly contested competition, which had a total of 25 participants.
