Nana Kwabena Oppong Kyekyeku Otumfuo’s Bonkum Sekyere Sanahene has refuted claims that Freemasons consume blood during their gatherings.
The traditional leader, who is a member of the fraternity, denied the charges, calling them untrue and ignorant.
In an exclusive interview with Kwabena Agyapong for Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, he stated that making such awful statements makes no logic.
In percentage terms, he stated that almost 95% of the claims made by people against their fraternity are incorrect.
He informed host Kwabena Agyapong that, like Christians, they only honour and revere the Supreme One.
He also denied rumours that members who die as fraternity members had their hearts removed.
He declared that anyone could make such an outlandish allegation.
He emphasised that masons do not practise blood rituals or human sacrifice.
“Freemansons do not drink blood. We are not demons or evil. These are erroneous assertions. However, I am pleased when these allegations are made because, as a mason, when someone owes me money, they believe they must pay since we see ourselves as demons. But we’re not demons. We are not as evil as others claim. “We are good people,” he explained.
He continued: “We do not have any alter where we spill blood or perform any rituals on it. 95 percent of individuals speak from ignorance. They have not joined us, and they do not attend our meetings, yet they continue to make false allegations and claims against us. He noted that because the fraternity is not a religion, religious, or political organisation, it is solely open to members.
“Freemasonry is a fraternity, and it cannot be open to everyone. It is designated for a small number of members. You cannot join a group with which you are already involved. It does not happen that way. This is not a church. We’ve formed a fraternity, so why not join us and see what we’re up to? To me, it doesn’t make sense.”
