A statement on Friday, signed by the Director General THURIST-Nigeria, Sulaymon Tadese, said that the rate at which morality and dignity of humans are being dragged in the mud in the name of skit making is alarming and need to be properly and promptly addressed to forestall any unwarranted consequences that may arise therefrom.

The statement reads: “Skit makers have now made anyone a cast in shooting skit to gain netizens’ attention at the expense of the inconvenience of innocent citizens, passers-by, unsuspecting job seekers, aged and ailing people anywhere and at any time.

“ It is important to state that the recent threat to the life of a veiled woman in a recent viral video is one of the many threats and dangers skit makers expose innocent citizens to in the name of Skit making.

“How do you explain a sane person pranking a woman dressed in a dignified religious garb as in the case of Niqob lady in the viral video and her attending reaction in the name of skit making? Isn’t that an indication that there are no regulations governing the act of skit-making in this country?”

THURIST further urges the public, skit makers, and aspiring skit makers to refrain from pranking or creating skits that target innocent citizens, particularly women who wear veils. They state that these individuals should be treated with respect due to their distinguished and exceptional appearance.

The Group called on the Government to regulate social media and skit-making to prevent the breakdown of law and order.

It noted that the unconfirmed reports that the man in the viral video has been arrested should serve as a warning to other skit makers.

It would be recalled a Skit Maker, Maruf Abdullahi, with the nickname, Trinity Guy has been remanded in Prison for assaulting an underage with his Skit Making leading to him been sued by the Oyo State Police Command.
