Ghanaian movie actor, Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lil Win has premiered his much-anticipated movie ‘Captain Ibrahim Traore’ at the SG Mall in Kumasi, drawing a packed audience.
The film, which had generated significant buzz across social media platforms, lived up to the hype as movie fans were treated to an unforgettable cinematic experience.
Ahead of the premiere, Lil Win organised a vibrant movie float through the streets of Kumasi to promote the film. The float also served as a tribute to the late legendary musician Daddy Lumba, who passed away last week.
Directed by the acclaimed Jackson K. Bentum, Captain Ibrahim Traore is an action-packed film that pays homage to the President of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traore.
Lil Win stars in the lead role, portraying the Burkinabè leader and showcasing his strength and resilience in turbulent times.
“It is truly an honour to see fans gathered here to watch the movie. I am really encouraged by the kind gesture. I want to thank all fans who have supported me—I’m motivated to give my best to the movie industry,” Lilwin told reporters after the premiere on Saturday August 2.
The premiere attracted several high-profile personalities, including Dr. Frank Amoakohene, Ashanti Regional Minister; Mr. Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, President of the Ghana Journalists Association; and celebrated actress Vivian Jill, among others.
A highlight of the evening was the presentation of an award to Lil Win by the Burkina Faso Ambassador to Ghana, David Kabre, on behalf of President Captain Ibrahim Traore, in recognition of the film’s impact and message.
The next screening of the Ibrahim Traore movie is scheduled to take place at the Eusbett Cinema in Sunyani on Saturday, August 16, 2025.
