The actor made this known in a post shared on his Instagram page, where he slammed people criticizing Nollywood for the increasing rate of ritual killings across the country.
According to the actor, he has been hearing about ritual killing in Nigeria during the eighties when he was a kid.
He holds that poverty and hunger and not Nollywood is responsible for crimes in the country.
Yul Edochie also added that the movie industry protrays only what happens in society, adding that Nigerians are wallowing in extreme poverty.
In his word: “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.”
