Imo State Traditional Ruler Converts To Islam, Gives Reasons

Chief Sylvester O. Dimunah, the vice
chairman of the Council of Village Heads
in Imo State, has been converted to
Islam.
The traditional ruler, whose name is
Musa Dimunah now, said that the
truthful nature of the religion, is the
reason why he made the switch. He
revealed that the good character of
Malam Ibrahim Biobonlomije, the former
secretary of the council and the
executive secretary of Justice Mamman
Nasir Islamic Centre for Peace and
Research influenced his decision to
embrace Islam.
“I did not accept Islam, I only revert to
the religion that our forefathers practice
and the universal religion of humanity.
I’m impressed by the good nature of
Muslims’ love for everybody and hatred
for none apart from the way they revere
Allah and all the Prophets without
discrimination,” he said.
“I am also impressed by the brotherhood
and mutual respect for each other and
other members of the community.”
He however insisted there was no
pressure to change his name, after he
became a Muslim.
