Actress Lizzy Anjorin renounces Islam five years after conversion

-

In 2018, Lizzy Anjorin announced a switch from Christianity to Islam because pastors refused to help with the burial rites of her mother.

In the space of five years, Nollywood actress, Lizzy Anjorin, has moved from Christianity, Islam and now out of religion altogether. 

Lizzy, fondly called Alhaja or Iya Adini by some of her Muslim fans, said she has dropped those Islamic religious titles, and the religion too.

Her reason was that Muslims didn’t come to her rescue after being bullied on social media.

Lizzy, which is a short form of the Christian name, Elizabeth, said: “Don’t ever call me alhaja or iya adini again, I did not see any Muslim defend me on social media.”

In 2018, the actress and filmmaker announced a switch from Christianity to Islam because pastors refused to help with the burial rites of her mother.
