Veteran Yoruba actor Femi Bright has spoken about a disturbing period when he believed strange spiritual activities were occurring in his house.
Naija News reports that Bright, in an interview with Fright News TV, explained that the incident happened one night when he woke up to use the bathroom.
While standing there, he looked through the window from the master bedroom toward the corridor.
At that moment, he heard a woman’s voice clearly calling another person’s attention to him as he was urinating.
He said the voice sounded real, but he did not react and simply returned to bed.
The actor said it was the next morning that the experience began to bother him.
He found it odd and asked his household members if anyone knew the woman whose voice he had heard.
When everyone denied knowing anything about it, he told them he felt that strange forces were holding meetings in the house.
According to him, his family members did not take the claim seriously.
About two weeks later, Bright said he was working as a film director on a project at a church in Igando.
The job was given to him by a woman based in Libya, and the church was used as one of the filming locations.
After the shoot, the owner of the church informed him that someone inside the church had entered a spiritual trance and wanted to speak with him before he left.
When he met the person, Bright said the first message he received was a warning that witches were gathering in his house.
He stated that this statement shocked him and made him remember what he had earlier told his family about his strange experience at home.
The actor added that this was not the only spiritual issue he had faced.
He said a colleague once took him to a religious cleric who revealed that a well-known actor had tried to take his success through spiritual means.
Bright noted that he was protected and that prayers prevented anything harmful from happening to him.
He said these experiences confirmed to him that unseen battles can exist around people, even when they are not aware of them.
He said: “There was a day I woke up from the master room in my house to go and urinate. As I was urinating, while seeing through the window from the master room out to the corridor, I was hearing the voice of a female, saying, ‘Mama, come and look at him. He’s out to urinate.
“At that particular moment, it did not sink inside of me. I went back to bed and fell asleep. It was later in the morning that I realised and asked who the lady was.
“I asked one of the person were living in the house together, and they told me there was nothing. I then told everybody that evil people are meeting in this house.
“About two weeks after that time, a lady from Libya hired me to direct a film for her. We used a church in Igando as one of the movie locations.
“The owner of the church later informed me that someone was in a trance and that I could come meet the person before leaving.
“The first thing that the person in trance said was that ‘Father, the witches are meeting in your house’.
“That was the moment that gave credence to what I said to my family before.”
