The campaign was launched on Wednesday in Asaba, Delta State, by the congress’ director of youth sensitization and rehabilitation affairs, Lucky Udu, who stated that ritual killing is a crime against humanity.

Udu, who is also, the president of Lucky Udu Foundation, stated that ritual killing was never common amongst Nigerian youths even as he expressed shock as to where the good and hard-working Nigerians have got this “make-it-quick” syndrome.

According to him, “Honestly, it is worrisome and challenging to see our youths, known for hard work, engage in ritual activities.

“It wasn’t so. What is going on? We are not only disappointed, but we kick against it in its strongest terms.

“We urge the Nigeria Police to step up their game and concentrate on youths, whose source of income can’t be clearly verified as a way of cleaning up the society.”

The youth leader, on the other hand, chastised parents for not doing enough while urging the current administration to refocus its attention on the welfare of its citizens, particularly youths, who make up the majority of the country’s population.

He also encouraged young people to trust in themselves and have hope for the future, promising them a better Nigeria in the not-too-distant future.
