SYNOPSIS
It’s September 1960, and with Nigeria on the verge of independence from British colonial rule, a northern Nigerian Police Detective, DAN WAZIRI, is urgently dispatched by the Colonial Government to the trading post town of Akote in the Western Region of Nigeria to solve a series of female murders that have struck horror in the hearts and minds of the local community.
On getting to Akote, more murders are committed, and with local tension high and volatile, Waziri has a race on his hands to solve the case before even more local women are killed.
Set against the backdrop of the national celebratory mood of the impending independence, Waziri is pulled into a game of cat and mouse as he and the killer try to outwit each other… leading to the climatic end in which the life of a popular local female teacher and village belle, Tawa, is held in the balance. Waziri has to race against the clock to capture the killer, save Tawa and solve the crime before the British flag is lowered and the Nigerian flag raised on Independence Day… October 1.

NIGERIANS&GHANAIANS REACT TO JIM IYKE'S DELIVERANCE (READ)
"This Jim Iyke's deliverance video at the synagogue trending looks too contrived. It's a big embarrassment. Has anyone ever seen demons come out live and speak? Una fit stand Demons? Una carry Nollywood enter church abi? How much did he get paid? I'm just wondering? Make una stop all dis nonsense play?? Haba. Stranger than fiction". – Segun Arinze
"My own view of the Jim iyke Drama is simple, he did a wrong deliverance, Love and Marriage ke, when we all know his real issues are with his bad tempers and unpredictable character. I just hope Nadia won't be there next week to get delivered from a certain Nollywood Demon, see what loss of Glo Endorsement deal has caused." – Seun Oloketuyi, CEO Best of Nollywood.
"Na waah for our actors. Jim Iyke took his acting stunt to the alter. I wonder how much he got paid for this 'movie'. Nevertheless, he's a good actor tho" – Afrocandy"Nollywood and the Nigerian churches really do have a lot in common come to think of it… Bad Scripts, gaudy flashy colours, terrible acting, gullible audiences, celebration of ill gotten wealth, etc"- Patrick Obahiagbon"So, Jim Iyke got 'delivered' of an evil demon in a popular church recently? Mmmmm. Chai! Strange things happen. And after Jim Iyke's deliverance, the 'new' Jim Iyke barked out at his PA about his shoes off his legs? Hmmmm. All I can say is that 'whatever floats your boat, brother'. Better send those poor women you have dated to same church for same. These Nollywood stars and the rush for 'deliverance'. Dem need am sef. God save us Producers from some of the demons we cast. I'm not insulting anyone. I just feel that 'deliverance' issues are personal. Not with cameras and klieg lights. De demon na star? I do think though that Jim was brave to go for deliverance. It is a first step to a total recovery. I wish him well. Honestly, I do".- Charles Novia"So Jim Iyke has been delivered to marry Nadia Buari? What a fraud! Good actor… and is he delivered to marry Nadia. That guy is up to another of his scams
You can fool people not always the time. This one is 100% fake, not forgetting the birth place of 419s. I believe Jim Iyke is up to something, which is either he was paid to appear on T.B Joshua's Emmanuel TV or he is up to a bigger scam and I will tell you about the latter scam.- Ghanaians
