Issakaba is a 2001 Nigerian film directed by Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen. Loosely based on real events, it depicts a group of vigilantes called the Bakassi Boys fighting crime as well as the alleged sorcerer Eddy Nawgu, who terrorized the Nawgu community in Anambra State. [1] [2]
The Issakaba boys led by Ebube had to fight against armed robbers who terrorized their society. The armed robbers possess certain mystical powers that they use in their robbery activities.
