He was all over in the news last week. Amadou Gillen hit the jackpot, winning 248 million dalasis on a lottery scratch card in England. But there are some interesting details about his Gambian family that reporters in England have missed.

What’s On-Gambiahas confirmed from reliable sources that the new millionaire has a daughter who converted to Christianity after an encounter with the country’s most flamboyant young pastor, Claude Azangisa.

It seems the young woman, Sera Gillen, has not been in regular contact with her father, who left the country in search of better opportunities in England.

British newspapers revealed he works in a pub following an apprenticeship with MacDonald’s. He has two daughters with an English woman.

The 46-year-old disclosed during a news conference that he has booked a trip to the country. Hopefully, he would have the chance to spend some quality time with Sera.

She lives in Bakau with her mum.  According to our source, Sera was a hajibi but later converted to Christianity after meeting Pastor Claude during an outreach event organized by the Awake Ministry.

“It wasn’t easy for Sera and her family. They were struggling to make ends meet. Now that her father is a multi-millionaire, I believe life will start smiling on her.”

Would she return to Islam?
