Gospel singer and performer, Yinka Ayefele has debunked reports that he converted to Islam.
The news which went viral after photos of the singer at an Islamic ceremony hit the internet.
A press release issued by his Publicist, David Ajiboye, has however described the reports as false and malicious, adding that Ayefele is still a Christian and has no reason whatsoever to renounce his faith and belief.
According to him:
"We believe the rumour must have emanated from the annual Ramadan Lecture which Fresh 105.9FM owned by Ayefele organized on Tuesday, in Ibadan. Our station, Fresh 105.9FM had invited popular Islamic preacher, Alhaji Muideen Ajani Bello as the Guest Preacher at our annual Ramadan Lecture which had over 4,000 people in attendance and because of this, some naïve minds went to town to spread the rumour about Ayefele’s conversion. We believe its part of our social responsibility to organize such a spiritual rebirth programme to sensitize our Muslim listeners on the ideals of Islam most especially in this holy season."
