A Nollywood fictional thriller tagged Conscripted that depicts security agencies’ patriotic fight against terrorism and other societal crime has hit cinemas in Abuja.

Conscripted, is a production of Capital Pictures, and was premiered last Saturday night, 29 April, 2017 at the NAF Conference Centre, Abuja.

The producer of the movie, Aik Odiase, said that the movie centered on insecurity as a global challenge, and why people should appreciate the unique sacrifices paid by security men in the service to their fatherland.

He said, “Conscripted is a call-up to a sacrificial service to defend one’s country, and that of victory of good over evil.

“The story plot was culled from the society, what the world and Nigeria in particular, is doing to surmount terrorism and all forms of insecurity.

“There were bombings, kidnappings, rapes, armed robbery and other security challenges threatening the peace of Nigerians.

“Because of the increasing rate on security challenges in the country, three selfless officers were drafted and specially trained by the relevant authorities to combat crime.

“The gallant officers include Brown who is in charge of schematic, Pinky who is in charge of interrogation and Edge the head of the Special Anti-Crime Unit of the Police Force,” he said.

Odiase noted that like many security officers, the anti-crime squad members paid some costly prices in their passionate service to their country.

He added that the scenario was to reassert the need to appreciate and support security officers in ensuring a safe society for all.
