humour and moral lessons for the young and old.

    The director, Abay Esho, who directed Spider, Heaven’s Gate, Dear Mother and

Safari described the series said, “Akpos is a global fictional story. What we try to do is to bring Akpos to life. Akpos is a comedy that all family members will love to watch and laugh and identify with.
