The Paramount Chief of the Builsa Traditional Area in the Builsa North Municipality of the Upper East Region, Sandem-Nab Azaksuk Azantillow, has attributed the high spate of armed robbery attacks in the Region to violent movies that the youth patronize.
He observed that movie makers introduced guns and acts of armed robberies in their movies, that he believes entices the youth to engage in such acts.
“The youth are interested in movies like that. Having watched such movies, they would want to put it into practice, hence the reason we have many armed robberies on our roads these days.”
Nab Azantilow, therefore, called on the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture to ensure that such movies were discouraged in the country to reduce the incidence of crime.
