DEBO ‘Mr Macaroni’ Adedayo has taken up the role of a police officer in the award-winning film ‘Freedom Way.’
The film, which was written and produced by Blessing Uzzi under Bluhouse Studios, marks the directorial feature debut of Olalekan Afolabi.
‘Freedom Way’ explores how unstable policies affect young people trying to build something of their own, weaving in powerful social themes like police injustice and broken systems.
According to the actor and skit maker, ‘Freedom Way’ is a story that’s instrumental to Nigerian society.
“What was most endearing was the way we all connect, and the way every action and inaction affects the next person. I want people to feel and understand there should be consequences for their actions,” said Mr Macaroni
