A masked pastor in Ghana claims to have killed more than 600 children in satanic rituals

The claims are unfounded; however, what is more troubling is that brutal child sacrifices are occurring in parts of Africa.

The nation of Ghana, located on the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, is known for many things. diverse wildlife and secluded beaches such as Busua. However, Ghana also has a dark side, and rumors of ritual human sacrifice are widely expected to take place. At this point, a pastor in Ghana claimed to have committed hundreds of ritual sacrifices, with most of the victims being children, reports the Daily Mail .

The pastor made the bizarre video claim to an interviewer, saying that he had spent 17 years living with the devil. He claimed to have made child sacrifices on 675 people given to him by Ghanaian doctors and nurses worshiping Satan. Doctors and nurses belonged to an occult group, according to the pastor

. Human sacrifice is considered illegal in Ghana, and the man has added more insult to his alleged hateful acts by disguising his identity under the mask of a child. The Ghanaian pastor, who appeared to be in his thirties, also claimed that he was born with evil spirits. The man further told the interviewer that he had more than 650 demonic spirits that he had personally named and who answered his call.

The reasoning of the pastor to accomplish the sacrifice was to maintain his power, according to what he told the interviewers in his & # 39; confession. He said that he has since left the kingdom of Satan. The authenticity of the video is debatable, but unfortunately, the trade of children's sacrifices in some African countries is flourishing.

According to the Institute of Ethics and Emerging Technologies,

"Ritual killings and human rights violations occur on the mainland because many people still believe that The use of charms and the fulfillment of ritual sacrifices can fortify them spiritually, improve their fortunes in business and during elections, or protect them from harm, illness, poverty, the accident , death or destruction. "

Take Uganda, for example. The sacrifice of children is such a widespread and so serious problem in the country that a working group has been set up to fight it, reports CBN News

Every year, hundreds of children in Uganda are kidnapped and murdered in the trade of child sacrifices. Sorcerers fuel the problem because they spread the belief that when you kidnap and murder children, they can provide an individual with protection, luck and wealth. Pastor Peter Sewakiryanga, who heads Kyampisi's childcare ministries, says that these types of ritual crimes occur almost once a month. Kyampisi Childcare Ministries was established to eradicate the sacrifice of children in Uganda.

Other regions in Africa have similar beliefs, and in East Africa, albinism is often a death sentence, reports the Washington Times. In Tanzania, stories abound attacks on children born with the mutation that causes pale skin, blue eyes and blonde hair.

Albino children are targeted and hunted down in Tanzania because local wizards have convinced key people to acquire wealth. The Kabanga Protectorate Center has been established as a refuge for anyone living with albinism who needs a shelter.
