Charles Okafor, the Nollywood icon known as “The Primate,” is set to return to the big screen on Wednesday, 11 November, with the action‑thriller “Issakaba: The Return.”
Okafor, who was a dominant presence on Nigerian screens during the 1990s and early 2000s, is best remembered for films such as Computer Girls (2003), Sting (2006) and Ocean Deep (2007). After a long absence, the film’s premiere is being billed as a new dawn for Nollywood and a moment of nostalgia for audiences who grew up watching his work.
Director Lancelot Imasuen, who has worked with Okafor on several projects, said the actor’s appearance on the promotional poster “reminds us of the enduring legacy of a man whose talent, commanding screen presence, versatility and remarkable contribution to Nollywood have earned him a special place in Nigerian entertainment history.”
