Abstract
Goal 16 of the Sustainable Development Agenda stipulates that sustainable development cannot be achieved in the absence of peace, human rights, and security. Ritual killings for wealth have reportedly been so high in Nigeria that members of the Federal House of Representatives filed a motion for the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency. In this paper, the extant literature and two theories (strain and rational choice) are employed to justify the impact of ritual killings on Nigeria and the quest for achieving sustainable development in Nigeria. The paper draws on a non-survey method through the review of secondary literature on conceptualization, causality, historical development, prevalence, socio-legal and socio-cultural underpinnings, and impact on Nigeria’s development. The study concluded that violence and insecurity have a destructive impact on a country’s development. Also, Nigeria’s race toward achieving peace, security, and stability appears to be hampered by a high prevalence of killings or human sacrifices for money-making purposes.
