Brotherhood (2022 film)

Brotherhood tells a story of twin brothers Wale Adetula (played by Falz) and Akin Adetula (played by Tobi Bakre) who witnessed their parents being killed while they were young. Growing up the twin brothers find themselves on opposite sides of the law as Wale joins the Police SWAT team while Akin becomes a criminal which landed him in prison severally.[5] After Akin is released from the prison, he joins the notorious 'Ojuju Boys' and brings about plans to help them rob bullion vans and banks. Their first operation was successful and they sought to continue on a bigger operation which Akin Adetula didn't want to be a part of at first, but later joined. On the operation, the SWAT team which Wale Adetula happens to be a part of, is deployed and blocks their escape. Both parties shoot it out on the scene and most of the Ojuju boys get killed. One of the Ojuju Boys and Akin's greedy friend, Izra (OC Ukeje) decides to betray them, escaping with the money. Akin's lover and only female member of the gang, Goldie (Toni Tones) gets killed in their attempt to escape. Akin is confronted by Wale who begs to take him in. Akin is shot by the police and falls from the bridge into the Lagoon. Divers are deployed to the Lagoon but Akin's body is never recovered. Wale is taken into custody by Internal Affairs, investigated for his possible connection with his brother and the Ojuju Boys. Izra reaches the smuggler to escape with the loot, claiming he is the only survivor of the heist. Akin finds and kills him before he is able to abscond the country with the loot. The movie ends with Akin calling Wale —who is at the end of his suspension by Internal Affairs —with an unknown number from Togo. [6]
