The legendary spiritual battle of Abule Muwonleru is returning to our screens, and it is bigger than ever. Mount Zion Film Productions has officially announced that the sequel to the 1993 gospel classic, Agbara Nla (The Ultimate Power), will hit cinemas nationwide on October 1, 2026.
For those of us who grew up in the 90s, the original Agbara Nla was more than just a movie; it was a cultural phenomenon that defined Christian filmmaking in Nigeria. Seeing Evangelist Mike Bamiloye reprise his iconic role as the formidable Isawuru is enough to spark pure nostalgia. However, this time, the production is getting a massive upgrade. The project is being co-created and directed by Damilola Mike-Bamiloye and Joshua Mike-Bamiloye, ensuring that the legendary story gets the modern cinematography, high-fidelity sound, and polished pacing that today's cinema audiences expect.
The plot picks up decades after the initial battles. A long dormant darkness is stirring in the village once again, targeting a new generation that is largely disconnected from the spiritual foundations of their elders. The story follows two young characters, Kola and Bose, who find themselves caught in the middle of a supernatural war as modern demonic strongholds and occult practices begin to rise. To survive, they must turn to the wisdom and spiritual authority of the old guard, leading to an epic, high stakes confrontation.
This theatrical debut is a major milestone for Mount Zion, achieved through a strategic partnership with Sozo Films and the virtual cinema platform Circuits, with nationwide distribution handled by the powerhouse Blue Pictures Limited. Whether you are a long-time fan of the franchise or a new viewer curious about the buzz, this release promises to be a significant moment in African cinema history. Mark your calendars for October 1st, the spiritual warfare is heading to the big screen
