On October 25, 1993, a Nigerian airway was hijacked by four teenagers who called themselves the Movement for the Advancement of Democracy (MAD). This was a protest against the then military government who annulled the June 12 election that democratically elected Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, MKO Abiola, as the Nigerian president-elect.
It is this historical event that Play Network Studios and Native Media Tv have teamed together to tell in their upcoming film Hijack’93, which is slated to premiere on Netflix on October 25, same day the plane was hijacked.
Starring a cast that includes Bob Manuel, John Dumelo, Sharon Ooja, Nancy Isime, Jemima Osunde, and Efa Iwara, the film also introduces newcomers Adam Garba, Allison Emmanuel, Oluwaseyi Akinola, and Nnamdi Agbo who play the role of the hijackers.
The film is directed by Charles Okpaleke, co-founder of Play Network Videos.
