Controversial Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has revealed that despite beibg a Christian, she has a Muslim boyfriend.
Dikeh, who recently took to the social media to share a message with her Muslim fans during the month of Ramadan, disclosed this while responding to a reaction of one of her fans to the message.
The message had led to a question from a curious fan who wondered if the actress is a Muslim because of the tone of her post.
She then reveals that she is a Christian, but that she has a Muslim boyfriend and lives in a Muslim community.

The tone of her message left some fans wondering about her religion and one even asked if Tonto Dikeh is a Muslim. The actress responded to the comment by saying that she is a Christian but that she has a Muslim boyfriend.
