In a revealing interview on Oyinmomotv's YouTube channel with media personality Damilola Banire, veteran Yoruba actress Iya Ologi recounted a chilling encounter during a movie shoot in a rural village. She disclosed being approached by witches who sought her participation in their coven due to her roles in films.
Recalling the eerie incident, she described how, while filming in the bush at night, she and her colleagues heard unsettling sounds, prompting them to halt production. Faced with the ominous demand to join the witches, she made a daring escape under the advice of the movie producer's wife, fleeing the village covertly to evade initiation into the occult.
Despite the allure of her on-screen portrayals, Iya Ologi found herself confronting the supernatural off-screen. Her harrowing tale serves as a stark reminder of the blurred lines between fiction and reality in the world of cinema.
With her survival instinct kicking in, she made a courageous decision to flee, highlighting the importance of discernment and protection even in the pursuit of art. This gripping anecdote offers a glimpse into the unseen challenges faced by actors, adding depth to the narrative of their craft beyond mere performance.
