Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, is set to release a new movie titled Legend of Inikpi on January 24.
A statement by the actress on Wednesday said the movie would be shown in cinemas nationwide.
Mercy Johnson is also a former Senior Special Assistant to Kogi State Governor on Entertainment, Arts and Culture.
She said that the movie was the third major project she executed in her short stint as Governor Yahaya Bello’s aide.
The 35-year-old said majority of the movie acts were sourced from the summit she organised on entertainment, arts and culture followed by a talent hunt across the state.
The movie, directed by Frank Rajah Arase, is a story of the Igala warrior, Princess Inikpi Oma Ufedo, who offered herself to be buried alive in the bid to secure victory for her land against the Benin Kingdom.
Naoma Ameh, one of the talents sourced at the Idah edition of the talent hunt project in the state, played the role of Inikpi.
Other big names alongside Mercy in the movie are Sam Dede, Paul Obazele, Odunlade Adekola, and Saheed Balogun.
