Nigerians and movie lovers will have another swell time on December 4 when the hugely successful epic sequel “Jagun Jagun 2: War of Warriors” premieres.

Filmmaker Femi Adebayo, who produced the blockbuster, announced the news on his official Instagram page, confirming the film will premiere exclusively on Netflix.
