In other news, Veteran Nollywood actor, Charles Inojie, has urged Nigerians to commend the film industry for shedding light on societal issues like ritual killings, spiritual fortification, internet fraud, and organ harvesting instead of blaming it for such crimes.

In an interview with Punch, Inojie argued that Nollywood should not be held responsible for society’s moral decay. He emphasized that storytelling in movies reflects real-life events, not an endorsement of criminal activities.

He also advised parents to take responsibility by instilling strong family values in younger generations, ensuring they understand the importance of hard work rather than seeking shortcuts that often lead to disaster.

Reacting to criticisms that Nollywood glorifies crime, Inojie said, “Can we, in good faith, say that all Nollywood movies revolve around rituals? The fact that such stories exist only mirrors the reality of ritual killings for power, wealth, and organ harvesting in our society.”
