Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has raised eyebrows after expressing love for Islam.
The movie star, humanitarian and politician, in an Instagram post, expressed her admiration for Muslims and their commitment to their faith. She stated that her interest in their religion resulted from living near a mosque, as she has been waking up to the soothing sound of Islam’s first call to prayer for the past four years.
Tonto described how hearing the melodious tune has reinforced her love for God and deepened her devotion.
Reacting to it, many social media users believed the movie star was already dating a Muslim, hence her new fond love for the religion.

Tonto Dikeh’s last relationship was to politician Prince Kpokpogri. The actress had gone public with him in June 2021 while he was celebrating his birthday. Unfortunately, the relationship didn’t last a year, as the two parted ways in September 2021 after a voice note surfaced online of Kpokpogri badmouthing the actress and complaining about her unrepentant behaviour.
Their break-up was one of the messiest celebrity breakups as the two exposed their dirty secrets. Tonto accused Kpokpogri of being a fraud and blackmailer and alleged that he had an affair with dancer Jane Mena and had her sex tape, which Mena denied.
Speaking on their break-up, Kpokpogri claimed that his relationship with the actress ended because of her addiction to smoking and drinking, which Tonto vehemently denied.
Countering him, Tonto stated that she was the one who ended the relationship, and it was because he was exposed through a series of voice notes that he was promiscuous, which she confirmed.
Tonto was once married to businessman Olakunle Churchill, who she has a son for, but the marriage also hit the rock.
