Summary: The movie started with a young man who was like a town savior who helped the village from any external problem maybe from neighbouring villages or town,his name is adaba. he was a man with supernatural power in which he helped to fight other externanal problems the town had at the moment.Based on that and all the things he had done for the town, a little boy looked up to him as a mentor and so one day the boy called dayo( yomi fash lanso) went up to his house and told him that he wanted to be like him and adaba told him that the only way he could be like him was to go to school and finish school the he can be like him and even stronger than him. After some few month later he was chased out of his father based on the fact that he was disobedient to his parent especailly his father because he was fond of going to meet adaba the peacemaker of the society and was warned severly by his parent but refused to listen to his parent. based on his rebellion he was left to room on the street where he meet a man called chief( oga bello) who was attacked by a set of armed robbers and was asked to lay down and sumbit all his things he had especailly his car keys,then came along dayo(yomi) who meanwhile was surveying the the environment as a a normal fellow but to the knowledge of the robber they thought he was just a normal person passing by and threatened to kill him if he doesnt mind his bussiness but he did not agree to leave and then showed them the power he had.He collected the car keys from the robber and all the thing that was seized from chief and refunded it back to chief(oga bello) then begged him to drive him back to his house because the raod was too dangerous and he agreed to drive back. from then on when chief asked if he had a job he said no stating that it was impossible for a person of his age to get a job based on the economic circumstances and that government can not offer jobs to the jobless,after all the story given to him by dayo he then asked him how he would feel when he was given a job and an accomadation with it.
Few month later he it was shown in the movie that he was invovled in importing of cars from other countries illegally but this was done through the use of metaphysical power in a way hypnotising his vitcm to follow his order that countinued for a while.His little brother who was in london for a while returned from london then he was married after he was convinced by chief to get married, meanwhile his little brother was a womaniser and a drunk,due to the fact that Dayo was not always at home his wife titi(funke akindele)was tempted to sleep with the brother based on the fact that he was drunk and did not know what he was doing.After his brother was sober he realized that he was in the same bed with his brother's wife he then realised that he was in bed with his brother's wife he then booke the next flight back to london but meanwhile the brother did not know that his little brother has defiled his wife and allowed him go back.
After a few month he continued smuggling of the cars has usual but was caught in the act and all his men and all his goods were seized by the immigration, his bosses were very angry and asked what happened and he said that he did not knpw what happened and the went to consult his dibia asking what happen and he reavelead to him that his brother has slept with his wife.He was advised not to do anything to his wife and tame his wife with her pregancy and then when she has put to bed he should carry the baby and bring it to the dibia house in order for them to to renew his power and he regain his position back.After all his effort taming her pregnancy and keeping in mind the wicked thing his brother has caused him when the time was due he collected the baby and took it to him as intructed by his dibia but unfortunately for him the baby died and he could not renew his power and was trapped with the cops outside his house and his wife looking for her missing baby after dayo has hypnotise her to collect the baby, he then killed his wife and killed himself.
