Check out all the winners at the 2019 AFRIFF awards

The just-concluded Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) was all shades of interesting and eye-opening.

Nigeria’s Akin Omotosho did the country proud by bagging three awards at the awards show for his film, The Ghost and the House of Truth’.
