Nollywood actor and politician, Yul Edochie, has warned Nigerians over speculations that Nollywood is the reason for rising number of ritual killings in the country.
The actor said poverty is the main culprit for ritual killings.
He made this known on his Instagram page. The photo text read, “From when I was a kid in the eighties I started hearing about ritual killing in Nigeria. Then there was no Nollywood. Hunger and poverty make people to do crime. No be Nollywood cause am.
“Nollywood is only showing what happens in society. Nigerians are wallowing in extreme poverty. A hungry man is an angry man, fix the country and crime will go away. Don blame Nollywood.”
Then in his caption, the actor pointed out that the reason for people’s frustration leading to money rituals should be addressed instead.
His caption reads, “Frustrated people use sniper to commit suicide. The remedy is to fix the reason for the frustration, not to ban sniper.”
