In this sequel to Saworide, the death of Lagata, the military usurper of the Jogbo throne, allows the corrupt chiefs to install Adebosipo, a retired police officer whom they think will not rock the boat of greedy exploitation of Jogbo resources. To their surprise, Adebosipo's resolve to serve the people and his refusal to loot the treasury set him on a collision course with the powerful chiefs who are bent on bringing down his rule. With this critical allegory of Nigerian politics, Tunde Kelani grabbed the top prize at the Nigerian National Film Festival.
