The movie entitled, "Conscripted" that depicts security agencies’ patriotic fight against terrorism and other crimes in the society has hit cinemas in Abuja.


"Conscripted", is a production of Capital Pictures, and was premiered on Saturday night at the NAF Conference Centre.

Mr Aik Odiase, the producer of the movie tells the story of insecurity as a global challenge, and why people should appreciate the unique sacrifices paid by security men in the service to their fatherland.

He said: "Conscripted is a call-up to a sacrificial service to defend one’s country, and that of victory of good over evil.

"The story plot was culled from the Society, what the world and Nigeria in particular, is doing to surmount terrorism and all forms of insecurity.

"This movie is a clear reflection of the potential that abound in the Federal Capital Territory, in terms of filmmaking.

"All the actors, producer, director, and even the equipment and locations used in the movie are from within Abuja.

"This is the first time this is happening, as what we usually see is to see someone come with casts and shoot a movie and then leave

"We have used “Conscripted” to create a niche for the movie industry in Abuja," Mr Sunny-Ken Awoji, the Vice Chairman of Abuja Chapter of the Association of Movie Producers (AMP), who also collaborated in the “Conscripted” project said.
