October 1 Synopsis
It's September 1960, and with Nigeria on the
verge of independence from British colonial rule,
a northern Nigerian Police Detective, DAN
WAZIRI, is urgently despatched by the Colonial
Government to the trading post town of Akote in
the Western Region of Nigeria to solve a series
of female murders that have struck horror in the
hearts and minds of the local community. On
getting to Akote, more murders are committed,
and with local tension high and volatile, Waziri
has a race on his hands to solve the case before
even more local women are killed.
Set against the backdrop of the national
celebratory mood of the impending
independence, Waziri is pulled into a game of
cat and mouse as he and the killer try to outwit
each other… leading to the climatic end in
which the life of a popular local female teacher
and village belle, TAWA, is held in the balance.
Waziri has to race against the clock to capture
the killer, save Tawa and solve the crime before
the British flag is lowered and the Nigerian flag
raised on Independence Day… October 1st.
