Nollywood actress-turned-evangelist Tonto Dikeh says she would rather face public criticism than stop speaking about her faith following backlash over a viral video showing her conducting a deliverance session on a schoolgirl.
The controversy began after Dikeh visited a school in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to preach to students. During the visit, she prayed for a female student and conducted what she described as a deliverance session.
Clips of the moment quickly circulated on social media, sparking mixed reactions. While some Nigerians praised the actress for sharing her faith, others condemned the act, describing it as inappropriate and calling it child abuse. Some critics even demanded that authorities investigate the incident.
Responding to the backlash, Dikeh shared a post on her Instagram page on Monday night defending her actions and reaffirming her Christian beliefs.

‘’THE ASSIGNMENT GOD HAS PLACED UPON ME IS TOO IMPORTANT TO GET DISTRACTED.
”MY EYES ARE ON JESUS, AND HE NEEDS NO ONE TO DEFEND HIS NAME.
”I, EVANGELIST TONTO DIKEH, WOULD RATHER BE MOCKED, RIDICULED, OR EVEN SLAIN THAN SILENCE THE NAME OF THE ONE WHO SAVED ME. I REFUSE TO HIDE GOD TO PROTECT MY IMAGE BEFORE MERE MORTALS.
”IF IT COMES TO IT, I WILL WEAR MOCKERY LIKE PERFUME AND CARRY REPROACH LIKE A CROWN BECAUSE HE IS WORTH IT ALL.
”I LOVE YOU ALL (the good, the ugly and the bad). THE WORLD IS NOT FIGHTING ME; THE KINGDOM OF HELL IS AND I UNDERSTAND THIS.
”SO NO HATE OVER HERE; WE BATTLE ON OUR KNEES IN PRAYER. THAT WHERE TRUE STRENGTH IS FORGED AND TRUE VICTORIES ARE WON.” She added.
