This is disclosed by the producer of Superstory TV Drama, Wale Adenuga Jnr., emphasising: “Superstory: Game Boys is a very captivating story which would hook viewers from the very first episode.”

Giving insights into the plot, Adenuga Jnr, said : “The Superstory: ‘Game Boys’ tells the story of Toyin, who dates a renowned internet fraudster, D-Boy, despite warnings from her brother, Ladi. All the while, she believes she is not directly committing any crimes.

“However, she soon finds herself drawn deeper into the dangerous world of cybercrime as her beauty catches the attention of bigger players who are ruthless and diabolical in nature.

“To save the family, Ladi must go to extreme lengths before it is too late.”

In addition to the great production design and the multiple celebrities in it, the programme stands strong on the foundation of a very fascinating story, which is authentically African and relatable to viewers of all ages.

After Superstory recently won the ‘TV Drama of the Year’ award at the Nigeria Media Merit Awards (NMMA), we promised something extra special, and here it is.
