Nigerian Traditional Worshippers calls for arrest of money ritualist
The Nigerian Traditional Worshippers Association have called for the arrest anyone who claims to have the power to use human parts for money rituals.
In a statement released by the Oyo state chapter, the association stated that no Yoruba deity supports the use of human parts for money rituals and people making such claims are bringing ridicule to traditional worshippers.
They added that the Government should clamp down on such people and also ban social media users from posting money rituals related contents online because it’s increasing the rate of killings.
Read the full statement below,
“We are calling on the federal government to, as a matter of urgent cause, clamp down on Nigerians proclaiming to have the power of wealth through rituals on social media and other platforms, they should be brought to justice, we are the butt of ridicule all over the world today because those in power have failed to be proactive against this horrendous development.
The world no longer have respect for our traditions, they think we are all guilty of human rituals, no history of Africa or Yorubas gave credence to wealth through the he use of human for rituals.
We should lay much of the blame on the doorsteps of our leaders in the society, their display of wealth in the face of widespread poverty, where majority of youths are jobless and the what belongs to the people are kept in the hands of a few, they are the major cause.
‘We have to therefore put the record straight, Ifa oracle does not support the use of human parts to make wealth, prayers can be offered for an individual who is engaged in a job for him to be prosperous, no Ifa adherent will do that.
Our government went after Twitter the other time for whatever reason they claimed the platform was banned for, today, TikTok, Instagram and other social media platforms are being used by these people to escalate the rate of killings in our society as our young ones now believe it is easier to access wealth through rituals with human parts than doing a diligent work, we call on the government to quickly work alongside the owners of the social media platforms to either ban those exhibiting such horrible contents on the platforms or make it totally impossible for the upload of such.
We also call on all religious bodies to start working on mental reorientation of their congregations, no human society survives the slope we are descending, a nip in time, saves nine.”
