The Slum King is an upcoming crime series set to release on Africa Magic on 5 October 2023.
The upcoming series is set to star Tobi Bakre, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Teniola Aladese, Olarotimi Fakunle, Sonia Irabor, Bolaji Ogunmola, Idia Essien, Elvina Ibru, Philip Asaya, Greg Ojefua, Charles Inojie, Brutus Richard, Jide Kene Achufusi, Taye Aimoro, Toyin Alausa, and Hermes Iyele amongst others.
The Slum King showcases the story of Edafe “Maje Esu” Umukoro’s gruelling life.
At the tender age of 11, Edafe witnessed and lost his family to the cold hands of death after a gang of armed robbers gruesomely massacred them. Robbers invaded their family house because of Edafe’s mistake: forgetting to lock the doors.
Overwhelmed with guilt and trauma, Edafe morphs into Maje, the charismatic king of the slums, after being a disturbed tout in the slums for several years. Sad events force ambition on the blasé Edafe, causing him to have a distaste for his lowly status and develop an appetite for power, leading him to join a drug cartel network and embrace a life filled with drugs, blood, and gore.
Tune in to watch the premiere of the anticipated Slum King on Sunday, 8 October at 20:00 WAT on Africa Magic Showcase Ch. 151.
