This witty thriller, starring Nollywood star Kate Henshaw, tells the story of failed stock investor Eviano Esiri, who hires an assassin to stage his suicide and make it look like a botched robbery, so that his wife and daughter can live off his life insurance. But the assassin brings along with her far more than Eviano bargained for … Directed by Nigerian-born Andrew Ukoko, The Assassin’s Practice represents a new step for Nigerian film, combining snappy, intelligent scriptwriting and brilliant acting to create a highly engaging and unusual thriller.
