EbonyLife TV will on October 13 premiere Sons of the Caliphate, a drama series based on the lives of three rich, entitled, passionate and ambitious young men, Kalifah, Nuhu and Diko, all caught up in the hidden corners of power, the darkness of addiction, the heat of love and desire, the obligations of family loyalty and the craving for revenge.
Banned Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau, stars in the 13-part drama series which promises to take the audience on a journey into the rich, cultural and flamboyant aristocratic lifestyle of Northern Nigerian.
“We at EbonyLife TV stand with Rahama Sadau and remain proud of the work she has done thus far. We believe that nobody is above mistake and we all deserve second chances,” said producers of the drama series.
“We certainly hope that the ban is revoked so that Rahama can continue her career and blossom to her full potential.”
Rahama plays the role of Binta Kutigi a confident, intelligent, witty and composed Northern “chick” who is stylish, elegant and yet traditional.
Viewers of the new series will get to see what happens when elections are fast approaching and how the tussle for the governorship seat heats up the polity in the Northern Caliphate State of Kowa.
Created, written and produced by Dimbo and Karachi Atiya, Sons of the Caliphate is set to reposition the stereotypes about Northern Nigeria in a way people have not imagined before.
Other prominent names in the film and TV industry featured in the series include Patrick Doyle, Mofe Duncan and Sani Muazu.
