Apata Boys: Syndicate Rising
About the Book
Jimi enters a criminal syndicate to uncover the truth about his family's past. But the closer he gets to power, the more dangerous loyalty becomes.
Dada and Atanda once served as enforcers for Ebenezer Oladosu. Their lives changed when Ebenezer's older cousin and second-in-command, Israel Ajaguna, seized control in a bloody takeover and left both men permanently crippled. Eighteen years later, Dada's son, Jimi, begins asking questions about their injuries and his mother's mysterious disappearance, a search that leads him straight into Ajaguna's syndicate, recruiting his childhood friends to infiltrate the empire that destroyed his family.

“This story is a relatable, suspenseful, and thoroughly entertaining read that brilliantly leverages the author's personal experiences. Its ultimate betrayal delivers a shocking, earth-shaking twist that showcases exceptional storytelling ingenuity. For anyone who found Mario Puzo's The Godfather engaging, this enthralled narrative is an absolute must-read.”

“A compelling Nigerian crime saga with strong characters and themes of legacy, revenge, and power. The main lesson is that inherited wounds and the pursuit of revenge can shape a person's destiny.”

“Raw, vivid and captivating. Apata Boys grips you from the first page with its remarkable scope and the Nigerian specificity is relatable.”

Author
“Apata Boys vividly brings old Ibadan to life through family secrets, father-son tension, and an underworld story. Its most powerful insight is that silence does not erase the past; it passes the burden to the next generation.”
Isioma Okeleke
“Apata Boys surprised me with its honest storytelling and relatable characters. More than anything, its portrayal of the past as a force that shapes the present, and ultimately must be confronted, left a lasting impression.”
