Blood Sisters, which premiered last Wednesday, is a story based on two friends Sarah (Ini Dima-Okojie) and Kemi (Nancy Isime). Sarah is engaged to the man of her dreams, Kola (Deyemi Okanlawon). Sadly, their seemingly perfect union has a dark side and despite Kemi’s audible misgivings, Sarah is determined to press on with the wedding. What follows is a heart-stopping series of destructive events manifested by betrayal, love, the test of friendship, and even murder.
Blood Sisters features a sterling cast of Nollywood’s finest, including Ramsey Nouah, Kate Henshaw, Uche Jombo, Patrick Doyle, Joke Silva, Keppy Ekpenyong-Bassey, Wale Ojo, Deyemi Okanlawon, amongst others. Fan favourites among the cast include Gabriel Afolayan, Kehinde Bankole, Daniel Etim Effiong, Ibrahim Suleiman, Toke Makinwa and Okey Uzoeshi.
