“I was lost, but now I’m found” – Actress Funke Akindele’s ex-husband JJC Skillz says as he reverts to Islam

Nollywood actress Funke Akindele’s estranged husband, Abdulrasheed Bello, better known as JJC Skillz, has revealed that he has reverted to Islam.
This comes months after his marriage to award-winning actress turned politician Funke Akindele crashed.

JJC, who announced this in a series of posts on his verified Instagram handle and corroborated his announcement in an interview with an Islamic online platform, Muslims News, on Thursday, stated that he was previously lost but has now been found.
According to him, he was originally born into an Islamic family, but his mother was a Christian.
“I was lost but now I’m found, O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in this life and the next. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religious and worldly affairs, and my family and my wealth.
O Allah, veil my weaknesses and set at ease my dismay, and preserve me from the front and from behind and on my right and on my left and from above, and I take refuge with You lest I be swallowed up by the earth.” He wrote on Instagram.

In another post, he wrote,
“Old things shall pass away and new things shall come our way. May Allah (SWT) continually do new things in our lives. I pray Allah (SWT) Light every path we follow, gives us the Wisdom & Guidance to every step we take, bless every decision we make, and make us excel in all aspect of life & grants us & our family Al-Jannah Firdausi. Ameen. Jumat Kareem.”

Speaking to Muslim News after the Instagram posts were shared, JJC said it was God’s design for him to embrace Islam.
“I was born a Muslim – AbdurRasheed by name. My dad, Bello is a Muslim but my mum is a Christian. Back then I used to go Islamiyah but all I remembered about it was getting beaten. They used to scare us with hellfire so, I never practiced. It’s God’s design that I will return to Islam. I thank Allah for sparing my life. He said.
