The narrative seems familiar. Avid film watchers and cinephiles have seen many of such flicks with kidnapping as a theme. Remember Chukwudi Dumee Onuamadike
, popularly known as Evans, and others of his ilk, who have turned Nigeria to a place where kidnapping business thrives.The film, Agent From Abuja, goes far deeper in form and content with a message that is positive. It does not celebrate kidnapping; rather it is used as a weapon of change.
In the Afrocentric political thriller, a former state governor flees Nigeria in the aftermath of a failed attempt on his life by an unnamed security agency. He arrives London and is kidnapped by a group of idealistic Nigerian students — Chris Machari , Toheeb Ibrahim , Yvonne Hays and Sokari Erekosima — determined to recover stolen millions in order to help people back home.
The politician, however, uses mind games to try and turn the students against one another. But the deadlier enemy is among the students: because one of them is an undercover agent with orders that include killing the politician and leaving no witnesses. “The character of the Governor is suggesting that racial discrimination limits the business prospects of Nigerians living in Britain, while in Nigeria, bribery will solve most business problems. So, a Nigerian in Britain can never gain access to the Commissioner of Police for business purposes, while in Nigeria it’s simply a matter of paying the required bribe to obtain a meeting with the IGP.
