The Minister of Works and Housing,
Babatunde Fashola, has asked moviemakers to stop telling stories of money rituals, especially with the mystical manipulations embedded in them because is a myth.
Fashola, who was the guest speaker at the fourth annual public lecture/symposium organized by the United Action for Change with themed, ‘Security of citizens as a social contract’, said that belief system, reinforced through Nollywood movies, could be fuelling kidnapping, given the number of persons the police have arrested with human skulls and other body parts, with the motive of money ritual.
The Works Minister, who titled his lecture, ‘Insecurity: Taking actions against organized crime’, however, said it was high time moviemakers and policymakers changed the narrative, to save innocent lives from being wasted.
He also faulted the fears that engulfed the populace last year when there were reports that cyber fraudsters were stealing women’s briefs to make money describing it as untrue.
