Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The insecurity is having a notable impact on the film industry. Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta noted that fears of banditry and kidnappings have discouraged filmmakers from shooting epic productions that rely on film villages. This has led to a decline in demand for horses and other animals at his film village.
