Lafenwa Abbatoir
This morning, we finally bid farewell to the Lafenwa Abattoir, and to the 200 cows slaughtered there daily. The crew-to-cast transformation trend continued with Production Manager Jamiu Shoyode (as Gentleman #1 ) and Production Assistant Bamidele Bolanle Suraj (as a butcher). We wrapped the complicated sequence in which Ma’ami and Young Kashimawo visit the butcher stalls in six takes, a rarity for the meticulous Kelani.

The fast-paced schedule continued to the early evening as cast and crew completed four other critical scenes, including a daring stunt that you’ll have to witness when Ma’ami opens in theaters. Cast and crew hope to replicate the same level of productivity in the next few days before Funke Akindele departs the production on Thursday.
