'Crime And Justice Lagos': Showmax Sets Date For Nollywood Series

Showmax has picked December 2022 for the premiere of Crime and Justice Lagos, its latest original from Nollywood.

The series follows the activities of the fictional Serious and Special Crimes Unit working in the Nigerian capital, which is the biggest and most densely populated city in Africa, headed by Deputy Commissioner of Police Femi Biboye (William Benson).

Made exclusively for MultiChoice's streaming service, the show will make its debut on December 8, with Folu Storms and Jammal Ibraham also appearing as the heads of an elite team of detectives.

Additionally, Nollywood veterans such as Uche Mac-Auley, Paul Adams and Femi Durojaiye co-star alongside budding stars Margaret Osuome, Ejirooghene 'Jyro' Asagba and Makinde Adeniran.

Crime and Justice Lagos is executive produced by Yinka Edward and speaking on the production, Busola Tejumola, Executive Head of Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice Nigeria said it is unlike any from Nollywood.

“Crime and Justice Lagos is unlike any other Nigerian original we have put out.

“We’ve created a crime series that captures the pulse of the city – from its glitzy clubs to its grimy ghettos – through the lens of law enforcement agents tasked with keeping its citizens safe.

"Each episode mirrors real crime stories that audiences will connect with and will give them a lot to ponder about.”
