During the investigation, the police discovered that the allegations stemmed from a misunderstanding. SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the state police command, clarified that the video circulating online, which showed traders and other individuals accusing the actress, was based on incorrect information.

This development highlights the importance of verifying facts before making accusations, particularly in an era where misinformation can quickly spread online. The resolution of this case underscores the commitment of the Lagos State Police Command to ensuring justice through thorough investigations.

In his words;

“There was no case of stealing to start with. Our investigation revealed that the seller of the goods gave the wrong account number. Out of the 10 digits the person was to provide, one digit was given wrongly and our investigation revealed that Lizzy Anjorin-Lawal did the transfer to the wrong account number.

But when it turned out that it was a mistake of facts and that they called her a thief in error, Lizzy (Anjorin-Lawal) took the assault meted out against her up and after the suspects were arrested and the case had gone to court, for reasons best known to her, she said she was no longer interested in the case and the case was withdrawn.”

“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. So, I am confirming that the police investigation revealed that there was no stealing. Lizzy Anjorin-Lawal was not culpable of stealing as she did not engage in stealing according to our investigation.”
