The actress in a lengthy post via her Instagram page on Sunday, April 26, 2020, said she was born a Muslim but later left to become a Christian.
She said she was raised a Muslim but her father gave them the free will to choose whatever religion they wanted.
“Yes, I am a Muslim. Born into a Muslim home and was raised as one. If you care to know, B2 in my WAEC Examination. ???? I have a loving Muslim Father who has given his children the free will to choose any religion they like be it Christianity or Islam. My Mom is a Christian, though not a practicing one. My Stepmom is a Christian, My stepsisters are Christians, my Stepbrothers are Muslims,” she wrote.
“Have I been to a Church before? Plentyyyyy of them. I once converted, name the Church, MFM, RCCG, CLAM, CAC sure been there but one thing was certain, Islam never left me. My ways of dealing, my upbringing, all I learnt was from a Muslim and was what I truly knew.
“I was scared what folks would think about me if I went back to Islam and this went on for years. About 4 years ago, Dec 31st, 2016 I decided I would live my life for ME. Me alone! I came back to Islam. I feel fulfilled. I’m happier. I have received more Blessings this way. My Oldest son practices Islam prays and Fasts as well.
“Yes, I wear what I like, be it modest or not. Who are you to decide my inner intentions. You know, it’s easy for you to type on your keypads and make assumptions, but folks who know me will say otherwise.
