In a dramatic twist, a former Christian and employee of the renowned Living Faith Church, Bishop David Abioye has converted to Islam under controversial circumstances.
According to an interview with Naij, the young man
named Nicholas Martins who has been christened
Ismail Haruna was spotted during the Sallah festival
with Muslims celebrating his thirteenth Jumaat as a
Muslim.
According to Haruna, his eyes are currently opened
to 'things' he couldn't see which in the church circle.
“My former name was Nicholas Martins but I
converted to become a Muslim,” Ismail said.
“I was converted at Games Village, Abuja, I am really happy to be a Muslim (laughs excitedly),” he said.
He said he made the decision to drop Christianity
after an incident relating to finance mismanagement at the Living Faith, Garden of Faith Church in Kaduna, Kaduna state. Although he did not give details into the crime, Ismail told a correspondent he was convinced to drop Christianity when he was sacked from his job for an alleged crime.
