NOLLYWOOD actor Yul Edochie has slammed those who blame the movie industry for the spate of ritual killings in Nigeria.
The actor took to his Instagram page to defend Nollywood. According to him, ritual killings have been happening since the eighties when he was a kid and there was no Nollywood then.
He went on to state that the movie industry is mirroring what happens in the society and blamed poverty and hunger as the cause of crimes in the country.
He wrote, “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.”
