Funke Akindele Joins Femi Adebayo in Reported Jagun Jagun Sequel

Funke Akindele is set to appear alongside Femi Adebayo in the sequel to the Yoruba-language action film Jagun Jagun.

Promotional material featuring the actors has revived interest in their earlier work together, especially the 2008 Yoruba film Taiwo Taiwo.

In that film, Akindele and Adebayo played T-Girl and T-Boy, a pair who went about seemingly ordinary lives by day while running a robbery syndicate at night.

Their latest pairing has prompted some fans to revisit that film and call for a remake. News About Nigeria reported that both actors had responded positively to the idea of revisiting Taiwo Taiwo.

The casting report follows the circulation of photos and videos featuring the two actors, including promotional imagery credited to Adebayo’s account on X.

Some of the online discussion has also centred on their rapport with fans giving the pairing a nickname. The reports reviewed did not give Akindele’s character name or confirm a release date for the sequel.
