The filmmaker made this known during an interview on Channels TV. ‘Issakaba 2’ is a sequel to the 2001 blockbuster movie ‘Issakaba’.
“We just finished filming. I went for a well-deserved rest for 3 months and I just got back just yesterday to round up the process. Issakaba is coming out very soon,”
“Issakaba has been remade with the present reality because what we screamed about 23 years ago has not left us, and is even worse with us now. So there is a need for reintroducing Issakaba,” the director said.
Production of the film was first announced in January 2024, revealing Chidi Mokeme, Phyna, Iyabo Ojo, Alex Osifo, Regina Daniel, Francis Onwochei, Charles Okafor, Chiwetalu Agu, Ben Olaye, Chudi Kashimawo and Mark Angel as the cast members.
In the movie, armed bandits who terrorize their community are faced with challenges by the Issakaba Boys, commanded by Ebube. Certain supernatural abilities are employed by the armed robbers in their heists. As a result, Ebube acquires abilities that let him battle against robbers, along with his group of Issakaba Boys.
