Chidimma Adetshina and mother's IDs and passports are to be investigated by Home Affairs

"...it appears Mr Guy Murray-Bruce jumped the gun. Chidimma, if still in South Africa, can not travel with her SA documents. The case on the matter is not finalised as Murray-Bruce claimed Chidimma assured him.

"So, either Murray-Bruce was lying or lied to, which then puts motives in question," Phil stated.

Phil questions why Guy Murray did not wait for the investigations to be concluded., and allows Chidimma to go through the proper channels.

"Miss Universe Nigeria failed to exercise due diligence, which taints the competition on merits."
