"Agbara Nla Returns to Cinemas on October 1, 2026"

"Agbara Nla," a significant faith-based film from 1993, is set to return to the big screen on October 1, 2026, after 33 years. The film, co-created and directed by Damilola Mike-Bamiloye and Joshua “Jay_Mikee” Mike-Bamiloye, revisits the spiritual conflict in the village of Abule Muwonleru.

The original production, written by Evangelist Mike Bamiloye, resonated with Christian audiences and became a cornerstone of Nigerian faith-based filmmaking. Characters like Isawuru and Ayamatanga left lasting impressions on viewers.

The new film aims to balance nostalgia for older audiences with a modern cinematic experience for younger viewers. While veterans Mike and Gloria Bamiloye are involved, the creative direction is led by the next generation of the Bamiloye family, which may be crucial for the film's appeal.

The transition from television broadcasts to cinema represents a significant change in how audiences will experience the story.
