SOLUTIONS TO RITUAL KILLING IN THE
SOCEITY
1. TO EMPOWER OUR YOUTHS WITH VOCATIONAL SKILLS: With this, many of them
would not be lured into ritual killing just to make quick money. Someone with a good source of
living will find it difficult engaging in the act. Therefore, youth empowerment should be
prioritized. the government should seriously engage the youths in skills acquisition programmes
to keep them away from being enticed with money because the victims are mostly ladies.
2. MINDSET AND CONTENTMENT: People should not give up. It is only when they give up
that they see ritual killing as the last option. There are so many graduates out there doing menial

because the idle mind is the devil’s workshop. If selflessness is the order of the day, ritual killings
will be curbed. In addition, all spiritual leaders should preach against ritual killings. Government

killings is to make ends meet.

quick money adding that someone with a good source of living will find it difficult
engaging in the act. He called on the Federal Government to prioritize youth
empowerment. People are unemployed, and this brings about poverty; If Nigerians have
equal opportunities to earn income in legitimate ways, there would be a reduction in
different abominable crimes such as kidnapping and killing fellow humans for rituals.
5. PARENTAL NEGLIGENCE: some parents, who encourage their children to venture
into illegal activities such as Internet fraud, ritual killing, drug dealing, as well as human
parts and organ trafficking. Good parenting would be the only solution to the social vices
affecting society. Parents, please train your children in a good culture that would make
society proud. The issue here is that charity begins at home.

their children in such a way that they will not bring shame to their families. The
