A Story of Protest and Bravery

Based on real events from October 25, 1993, Hijack ’93 dramatizes the courageous actions of four Nigerian teenagers Richard Ogunderu, Kabir Adenuga, Benneth Oluwadaisi, and Kenny Rasaq-Lawal who hijacked a Nigerian Airways plane as a protest against the annulled June 12 elections. The young men redirected the flight, originally en route to Abuja from Lagos, to the Niger Republic, demanding the government recognize MKO Abiola as the legitimate president.

Star-Studded Cast and First-Hand Accounts

Featuring a talented cast that includes Jemima Osunde, Nancy Isime, John Dumelo, Efa Iwara, and Sani Muazu, the film blends drama and realism. Producer Charles Okpaleke announced the project in 2021, emphasizing the inclusion of first-hand accounts, bringing authenticity to the portrayal of this daring act of protest.

Building on the success of other Play Network releases, Hijack ’93 has become an international sensation, joining the ranks of Blood Vessel and Glamour Girls and solidifying Nigerian cinema’s growing influence on a global stage.
