Nollywood actress-turned-evangelist Tonto Dikeh has shared a profound and raw testimony about her past, revealing that she once “worked for demons” and joined cults before finding spiritual restoration.
According to a report by The Nation and other sources on April 1, 2026, the 40-year-old actress spoke during a gospel ministration at the Women of Fire Prayer Conference in Tanzania. She described her former life as being filled with “filth and dirt” and admitted to participating in dark spiritual paths while trying to navigate the challenges of a “wicked world.”
Key highlights from her testimony include:
- Spiritual Deliverance: She confessed to having joined a cult and “worked with demons so hard,” but declared that she is now a “product of mercy” after God “dragged her out of hell.”
- Overcoming Addictions: Dikeh reflected on her transformation from a long-term drug addict and heavy smoker (a habit she said started at age 13) to a woman of God.
- Finding Peace: She noted that despite her fame, she only began experiencing true inner peace at age 40 after her divine encounter and commitment to ministry.
- A New Identity: Following her viral testimony in late 2025 at Pastor Jerry Eze’s Streams of Joy church, she has embraced the title of “Evangelist” and expressed a commitment to preaching the gospel on global altars.
