Ben Pol, whose real name is Bernard Michael Paul Mnyang’anga, took many by surprise when he denounced his Christian roots to convert to Islam last year.
The Bongo singer stressed that he had decided to convert to Islam and resolved to remain a Muslim until the end of his life here on earth.
Speaking on his new faith during a recent interview with Clouds FM, Ben Pol stressed that his conversion to Islam is not a publicity stunt.
