Nollywood actor, Kunle Omisore has recounted an alleged encounter with people he described as witches after he was reportedly summoned to settle a dispute involving him.
Omisore shared the unusual experience during a recent episode of the African A-List podcast, where he spoke about being accused by a woman of damaging something belonging to her.
