While refraining from disclosing the value paid for the acquisition, he disclosed that the company has not announced when the films would be released on the platform. He said:
“I wish to inform you that Netflix has acquired “Mokalik” and some other of my films.”
This acquisition is in the wake of the company’s interest to get serious about acquiring original series and films from Africa created by Africans
It would be recalled that at the Toronto International Film Festival, Netflix acquired Genevieve Nnaji’s directorial debut Nollywood film, “Lionheart”. The film was also picked as a Netflix Original movie and was released worldwide on January 4, 2019.
