Abstract

An individualistic education can hardly minimize community-based problems; hence, community education could play a magnificent role towards reducing community-based problems. Although the literature about community education appears to be in abundance, the literature about community education and community-based problems seems to be few. For this study, the researcher's aim is to strengthen and sustain a responsibly coherent community to minimize ritual murder through community education. The researcher adopted a participatory action research approach to involve community members in the fight against ritual murder in their community. The researcher employed qualitative techniques to collect data. Twenty-two (22) participants were selected purposively. The participants formed a focus group that had discussions and interviews. The study concluded that ritual murder is a serious community-based problem threatening communities. Community education is recommended to modernize culture and tradition for reducing ritual murder.
