Nollywood actor Adewale Yekeen has exposed the strategies and strengths of kidnappers in his new film, ‘Asiri Ajinigbe.’
Yekeen explores the level of ritualistic killings and kidnapping in Nigeria through the film.
On what inspired the latest movie, Yekeen noted that passing messages and recommending solutions through his movie is all he believes he can do for now.
“Asiri Ajinigbe simply means kidnapper’s secret. My film brings to light secrets about how kidnappers operate and possible solutions to insecurity. A lot of Nigerians have experienced kidnapping, and we must realise that insecurity for one is insecurity for all,” Yekeen stressed.
Speaking on the making of the film, the young filmmaker said, “We faced so many challenges while shooting the movie, it required so many resources and we were limited to the point that production almost stopped. Money for special effects alone was astronomical, but to God be the glory, the movie shoot was a success.”

‘Asiri Ajinigbe’ features Nollywood’s finest like Adunni Ade, Murphy Afolabi, Madam Saje, Sanyeri, and others.
Yekeen also stated that insecurity will further affect the country economically if left unchecked.
“My major concern is that insecurity in Nigeria will further affect the country economically. Most foreign investors are scared of coming to the country because of insecurity. Even some Nigerians in diaspora find it scary to visit their motherland let alone investing here.”
