Ajakaju: Bèast of Two Worlds’ is about King Towobola (Odunlade Adekola), surrounded by diàbolic women, from his wives to his mother (Sola Sobowale)
Faced with the thrèat of abdicàting the throne for not having a male heir, he brought home a strange woman who spelt more tr0uble for him.
The movie narrates the story of a king, Towobola, whose reign was threa.tened because he had no heir to his throne despite being married to three wives.
Although the king’s three wives are all pregnant, everyone is intrigued and anticipates a son among the king’s three wives. Even the king’s mother, IyaOba, has warned the three pregnant wives to ensure they give the king an heir.
To bring joy to the king, Oyenihun (one of the king’s wives) meets her mother, who gives her a concussi0n with severe instructions that the mixture must not be touched. However, Oyenihun fails to keep this instruction.
The king’s wife tried all sorts of màgic to make him happy and bear him a son, but this was almost impossible, and the sons were far coming, as they all bore daughters.
One night, the king surprised the kingdom with a strange woman, Adaralewa, without a trace of her family. He married this new woman he became fond of, and there was so much joy in the kingdom. But this joy was short-lived. Strife soon began among the wives, and it didn’t end there!
Something seemed pretty off about this woman; she spoke to the king with no reverence.
Adaralewa was able to conceive and bear the King a son, but immediately after giving birth, she threw the child into the fire. This upset the king, but he forgave her and gave her a second chance. She conceived and bore the king another son, but again, when she delivered her child, she threw him into the water.
Outraged, the king unveiled Adaralewa’s secrèt: she was an Antelope bèast! And as sècrets unfurled, the palace held darker truths than the king ever imagined.
