Olakunle Churchill shares message on survival after ex-wife Tonto Dikeh’s public testimony

Businessman Olakunle Churchill has shared a reflective message online following a recent church testimony by his former wife, actress Tonto Dikeh.

In a post shared on social media on Tuesday, Churchill wrote that he “survived what was meant to shatter me, and God rewrote my story. What I endured now speaks for itself.”

He did not mention Tonto by name, but the timing of the post led many social media users to link it to her widely circulated testimony.

Churchill also spoke about accountability and inner peace in a separate message, stating that “true confession lightens the soul, makes life easier, and gives room for peace, healing, and renewal.”

The comment drew mixed reactions online, with some interpreting it as a personal reflection and others seeing it as a response to recent events.

Churchill and Dikeh were married in 2015 and share a son. Their marriage ended in 2017 after a highly publicised separation that involved accusations, counter accusations and legal disputes.

Tonto’s testimony was delivered at the Streams of Joy International Church in Abuja, led by Pastor Jerry Eze. During the service, the actress spoke openly about her spiritual journey and challenges she said she had faced over the years.

In her testimony, Dikeh said she began smoking at the age of 13 and struggled for years with anger, addiction and what she described as spiritual battles. She told the congregation that she experienced deliverance and healing through prayer and faith.

“I smoked since I was 13. God healed me from masturbation too,” she said, adding that she was initially afraid to share her story publicly. “The God that gave me the image is the same God that can take it away.”
