The federal government has said would launch a national campaign against ritualists and murders in the coming days.
The Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed said this in Abuja, during a media visit to Daily Trust Newspaper.
He said the federal government was alarmed by the escalating incidents of ritual murders across the country among young persons, driven by the urge to get rich at all cost.
He said the National Orientation Agency NOA was already collaborating with religious and traditional organisations as well as non-governmental organisations to forge behavioural change, especially among the youth, some of whom are afflicted by the get-rich-quick syndrome.
The minister said he had also directed the National Film and Video Censors Board to take the issue of regulation of Nollywood movies featuring money rituals in some of its movies into consideration while performing its role of censoring and classifying films and videos.
