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]
Plot
The Issakaba boys led by Ebube had to fight against armed robbers who terrorize their society. The armed robbers possess certain mystical powers that they use in their robbery activities. Because of this, Ebube and his team of Issakaba boys also acquire powers that enable them to fight against robbery.[3]
