CLASSIC NOLLYWOOD MOVIE “ISSAKABA” RETURNS WITH A SEQUEL

Renowned Nigerian actor, Sam Dede, recently made a huge announcement via a post on Instagram earlier Saturday, January 27th 2024, on a sequel to be made on renowned 2001 Nollywood five-part movie “Issakaba”. Lancelot Imasuen has returned as the director.

Sam Dede who is back as the lead character shared some words about the production. “ISSAKABA!!! The Myth returns. A RIVER DOES NOT FLOW THROUGH A FOREST WITHOUT BRINGING DOWN TREES. Men with evil minds lurk in the dark. But….. JUSTICE IS MINE”, he said.

Video clips released have also confirmed the commencement of the principal photography.

According to sources, Chidi Mokeme and Big Brother Naija alumnus, Nosa Rex Unusual Phyna have joined the cast.

The word “Issakaba”,  which is an anagram for Bakassi, is based on a community vigilante gang called Bakassi Boys that purport to fight against crimes like armed robbery and murder cases that put fear and panic in the community.

The Issakaba Boys, led by Ebube (played by Dede), had to fight against armed robbers who terrorize their community. The armed robbers were backed by mystical powers (charm) and because of this, Ebube and his team of Issakaba Boys also acquire powers that enabled them to fight them.

The acclaimed Nigerian action franchise, “Issakaba” makes a comeback 23 years after the first installment. The upcoming project is a sequel and not a remake.

Prepare to have another thrilling action journey with Sam Dede and other talented actors as him.
