The Nigerian motion picture industry has replied to the House of Representatives’ assertion that it is to blame for the current trend of money rituals among the country’s youth.

The new fad is sweeping the male gender, particularly those aged 15 and up, according to 360 MEDIA.

Some Nigerians accused ‘corrupt’ governments for failing to offer effective leadership and governance for the rise in blood rituals.

On Wednesday, the lower chamber accused movie makers of inciting ritual killings through their films.

Toby Okechukwu, the Deputy Minority Leader, had proposed a resolution of urgent public urgency, which was adopted by the plenary in Abuja.

Okechukwu, who presented the motion, stated that the number of reported ritual killings and abductions in Nigeria had increased alarmingly, as well as condemning the increase in reported ritual killings and abductions in various regions of the country.

However, the National President of the Nigerian Directors Guild, Victor Okhai, responded by calling the assertions that Nollywood is to blame “laughable.”

He told reporters on Friday that the fact that Nollywood, like TV stations, uses ritual killings in its films does not make them responsible for the threat.

He went on to blame the situation on the National Assembly, saying that they have failed to fulfill their responsibilities and continue to plunder the country.

“I thought the announcement from the House of Representatives that Nollywood is to blame for ceremonies to be ludicrous. So, if newspapers report on rituals, does it make them responsible for rituals, or does it make them guilty if radio and television broadcast rituals?

“If you want to know where the true problem is, it’s the National Assembly, which compromises and fails to carry out its duty.

“You’re responsible every time you sit there and split loot; leave Nollywood out of it.”
