‘I won’t take part in Christian films production again’ – Mount Zion star Abel Martins vows

Renowned gospel actor Abel Martins has made the unexpected announcement that he will no longer participate in Christian film productions, citing personal experiences of betrayal within the industry. In a candid and now widely discussed interview with Dele Adeyanju on "The Journey," Martins revealed the painful ordeal he faced after frequently collaborating with renowned filmmaker Mike Bamiloye.

Martins explained that his close working relationship with Bamiloye sparked envy among his colleagues, leading to a smear campaign aimed at damaging his reputation. He described the emotional toll of feeling betrayed by those in his own circle, which ultimately influenced his decision to step away from Christian movie roles.

"I've come to realize that we are fighting a battle in this world," Martins stated. "It’s one of the reasons I decided not to be part of Christian productions anymore."

Despite the challenges, Martins expressed deep gratitude towards Mike Bamiloye, acknowledging the filmmaker’s unwavering loyalty and support during his darkest moments. According to Martins, Bamiloye remained a steadfast ally through the turmoil, for which he will always be appreciative.
