About Abakwa
This is the story of a man named Abakwa. He used to be a ferocious mafia boss who was apprehended for his crimes and sentenced to life. After spending 35 years behind bars, with the help of Ambe Benard, an outstanding Police Inspector, he gets released. They make a deal to work together and fight against drugs, prostitution, and all illicit activities that plaque their community.
Directed by Song Nestor, Abakwa leans on a strong ensemble — Vugah Samson, Sylvester Madu, Lehan Scholastica — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2024.
