A statement from Royalhouse Chapel said the allegations by a self-styled fetish priest lack merit and should be treated with the contempt it deserve
The Apostle General and founder of Royalhouse Chapel, Most Rev Sam Korankye Ankrah, has denied allegations of sexual misconduct and alleged involvement in rituals.
A statement from the leadership of the church is in response to allegations made by fetish priest Osofo Samuel Kojo Bentil Odoom in a social media video that the church’s founder engaged in sexual misconduct with a five-year-old nearly three decades ago.
According to the statement released on Wednesday, (14 February) by Royalhouse Chapel, the fetish priest also accused Sam Korankye Ankrah of using the victim’s blood to build his church and engaging in sexual misconduct with church members.
It said these claims by the priest are false and deliberately calculated to tarnish the hard-earned reputation of the esteemed Apostle General Sam Korankye Ankrah.
“Royalhouse Chapel International therefore categorically refutes the claims made in these publications and wishes to put on record that, Apostle General Sam Korankye Ankrah has never been involved in any of Bentil’s
allegations in any shape, form or fashion, either with this particular individual mentioned by Bentil or any other person(s).”
“The allegations by this self-styled fetish priest therefore lack merit and should be treated with the contempt it deserve.”
The general public is hereby advised to completely disregard these defamatory publications entirely even as the Church explores its options under the law.
“… We stand firm in our faith and trust that truth will prevail,” the statement reads.
