For those unfamiliar with the original film, “Issakaba” tells the story of a vigilante group called the Bakassi Boys, who take it upon themselves to fight crime and restore peace in their community. Led by Ebube, these brave individuals faced off against dangerous armed robbers, even overcoming mystical challenges thrown their way.
After a 23-year hiatus, this legendary Nigerian action film is making a triumphant return thanks to the dedication of its creators and cast. The announcement, made earlier this year by Sam Dede himself, sparked excitement among fans eager to relive the thrilling adventures of the Issakaba Boys.
Sam Dede further fueled the anticipation by calling the sequel “the return of an old, long myth,” hinting at a story that both honours the past and offers fresh experiences.
Returning as director is Lancelot Imasuen, who helmed the original production back in 2001.
