Check out the trailer for ‘Lakatabu’ to see Odunlade Adekola take on the role of a ruthless gang lord.
“When a man uses his powers for criminal activities, threatening lives with his influence, he becomes Lakatabu the fierce one,” Odunlade Adekola shared on Instagram on June 9, 2024.
The trailer introduces Lakatabu, portrayed by Adekola, as an armed robber with magical assistance who terrorizes, kidnaps, and murders. The story takes a turn when he starts receiving threats from rivals, adding new challenges to his reign of terror.
Directed by Adekola and co-produced by Odunlade Adekola Film Productions and FilmOne Studios, the film delves into the fear Lakatabu instills and the repercussions of his power.
The cast includes Samuel A. Perry (Brodashaggi), Eniola Ajao, Aderinoye Babatunde, Yomi Fash-Lanso, Mr Latin, Bolanle Ninalowo, and Adunni Ade.
Adekola, who gained fame with his lead role in the 2003 Nollywood film “Ishola Durojaye,” has risen as a prominent figure in Yoruba cinema. As both an actor and director, his dedication and ability to connect with audiences have earned him two Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA): Best Actor in a Comedy for “A Million Baby” (2018) and Best Supporting Actor for “Jankariwo” (2022).
