Media entrepreneur and filmmaker Linda Ikeji is bringing one of Nigeria’s most tragic real-life incidents to the big screen with her forthcoming movie, The Night of June 7th, set for release in cinemas on August 28.
Inspired by the infamous Apo Six killings, the film revisits the events of June 7, 2005, when six young Nigerians were allegedly chased, killed and secretly buried in a shallow grave by police officers in the Apo area of Abuja.
The incident shocked the nation and became one of the country’s most controversial cases of alleged extrajudicial killings, sparking widespread outrage and demands for justice.
Ahead of the film’s release, Linda Ikeji unveiled a striking promotional campaign comparing photographs of the police officers accused in the case with the actors portraying them in the movie.
Sharing the images on social media, she wrote: “The accused VS the actors who played them in The Night of June 7th.”
