Suspicion will be released on November 28, 2024, on Amazon Prime

As mentioned above Suspicion is scheduled to release on Prime Video on November 28, 2024. The genre is a supernatural thriller drama, the trailer promises an intense viewing experience. The cast includes some of Nollywood’s best actors with leading man Stan Nze as Voke, alongside Omowunmi Dada and Uzor Arukwe with Richard Mofe-Damijo.

Voke dabbles in African black magic to kill a man for the death of his goddaughter, mixing themes of power, heritage, and sins. Directed by Tosin Igho who has said he wants to give a global audience the legends and mysticisms of Africa through Suspicion. This theme is distinct since it provides a unique view of Africa, not often shown in mainstream cinema.

African black magic is not just a punchline in the script, it is portrayed more as traditions and moral grey areas of existence. Igho is making his feature film debut, having previously directed only music videos.
