Netizens Resurface Past Drug-Use Denials Following Tonto Dikeh’s Recent Church Confession.
Netizens have revisited past public statements and reports involving Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh following a recent church testimony in which she openly admitted to long-standing personal struggles, including heavy smoking, anger issues and other challenges.
In the widely circulated testimony, the actress described herself as a former sinner who had battled unhealthy habits for years before undergoing what she portrayed as a personal transformation through faith. The video, which quickly gained traction online, prompted renewed public interest in earlier moments when Dikeh had addressed allegations surrounding her lifestyle.
Shortly after the testimony, social media users began sharing archived posts and entertainment news reports from previous years in which the actress appeared to deny claims of drug use. In 2017, during the public collapse of her marriage to businessman Olakunle Oladunni Churchill, Dikeh had posted an image of a laboratory drug screening result on her Instagram page, which was widely reported at the time as showing negative results for several substances. The post was shared in response to rumours that drug use contributed to the breakdown of the marriage.
Similar reactions were recalled during her highly publicised relationship with former boyfriend Prince Kpokpogri in 2021. At the time, Dikeh publicly rejected insinuations of drug abuse and stated she was willing to undergo a drug test to clear her name amid online accusations.
As part of the rising conversation, netizens also dig up an Instagram Story posted by Kpokpogri during his breakup with the actress, in which he publicly commended Dikeh’s ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, referring to him as “a man.” The post, which circulated widely during the dispute, has again drawn attention as online users reassess past relationship narratives in light of the actress’s recent confession.
While some commenters argue that the confession provides additional context to previous controversies and marriage issues, others maintain she has truly repented as is now a born again Christian.
