Royalhouse Chapel clears air on sexual and ritual allegations against head pastor

The leadership of the Royalhouse Chapel International has refuted allegations of sexual misconduct and indulgence in rituals leveled against its founder Reverend Sam Korankye Ankrah.

The comment from the faith-based organization is in reaction to assertions made by a fetish priest by the name, Osofo Samuel Kojo Bentil Odoom in a video on social media, claiming that the founder of the Church allegedly engaged in sexual misconduct with a five-year-old nearly three decades ago.

A statement released by the Church on February 14, 2024, also noted that the fetish priest alleged that Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah used the blood of the victim to build his church as well as engaging in acts of sexual misconduct with members of his church.

“You use the blood of a five-year-old girl of royal descent to perform the ritual to build your Royalhouse Chapel. The ritual is that she will continue to live and die slowly…so long as this girl grows, your money grows and when everything is out of her, she will die,” Kojo Bentil Odoom alleged in the video on X, formerly Twitter.

The Church in the statement highlighted that the claims by the priest are false and deliberately calculated to tarnish the hard-earned reputation of the esteemed Apostle General Sam Korankye Ankrah.

“The church views these allegations as deeply troubling, purposefully destructive and defamatory…Royalhouse Chapel categorically refutes the claims made in these publications and wishes to put on record that Apostle General Sam Korankye Ankrah has not been involved in any of Bentil’s allegations in any shape, form, or fashion,” the statement noted.

The statement further stressed that the church has come thus far due to the Grace of God and the sacrifices made by the Apostle General.

The church urged the general public to disregard the assertions by the priest as they were “false” and “defamatory” and an affront to Christianity.

Meanwhile, the leadership of the church has said it will explore its options under the law despite its forgiveness towards the priest Samuel Kojo Odoom and his accomplices.
