Olakunle Churchill, the former husband of Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh, has taken to social media to reflect on healing and personal growth, shortly after the actress publicly shared details of her past struggles with addiction and emotional challenges.
Ms. Dikeh, 40, made the revelations during a church testimony, where she spoke candidly about battling alcohol addiction, smoking, prolonged anger issues and other personal difficulties. She described her experiences as a form of “demonic oppression,” adding that she was able to overcome them through faith and spiritual renewal.
According to the actress, her journey to recovery began with a renewed spiritual life, which she said brought about significant changes. She disclosed that she had taken up smoking at a very young age and had struggled for years with various addictions before experiencing what she described as divine healing.
She further stated that she was recently delivered from deep-seated anger, which she said had negatively affected her relationships and personal life over the years.
Following her testimony, the founder of the church, Pastor Jerry Eze, offered prayers for the actress, declaring that she had been freed from past burdens and describing her as “a voice in her generation.”
Although Churchill did not make direct reference to his former wife, his social media post on healing and restoration came shortly after the widely circulated testimony, drawing public attention and reactions across social media platforms.
