The leadership of De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI) has spoken out in response to a widely circulated film purportedly depicting blood rituals, vehemently denouncing the allegations as untrue, deceptive, and inconsistent with the organization’s principles.
Alban Aniekanabasi Paulinus, the International President and Skull Executioner of DNKI, stated in a statement released on Tuesday that the fraternity does not partake in any cult-related or barbaric activities, including drinking or sucking blood.
“A video that is currently making the rounds on various media platforms has caught my attention. In it, Chief Chidi Anokwu, the immediate past Skull Executioner, is seen giving Oliver Patrick a skull-shaped cup with a horn while making statements that suggest blood drinking,” Paulinus remarked.
“Let me be very clear and unambiguous: De Norsemen Kclub International has never been a cult and does not drink or suck blood.”
The head of DNKI emphasized that the organization is still a humanitarian, sociocultural, and advocacy group dedicated to serving humanity, justice, dignity, brotherhood, and legal behavior.
He claims that the words and deeds seen in the video are immoral, dishonest, shameful, and wholly inconsistent with DNKI’s philosophy, constitution, and basic values.
“Those people do not speak for this brotherhood in any way, nor do they represent DNKI,” he continued.
Paulinus further emphasized that no member of the organization is above the law, pointing out that DNKI is based on accountability, discipline, due process, and respect for established authority.
The DNKI leadership has established an investigating committee to look into the facts surrounding the video and provide recommendations in order to handle the problem.
The statement said, “I urge all well-meaning Norsemen worldwide to remain calm, resolute, and law-abiding as we address this matter decisively.”
In accordance with the DNKI constitution, he further informed the public and members of the organization that anyone found guilty would be subject to the proper disciplinary actions without fear or favor.
Paulinus declared, “DNKI remains a brotherhood of honor, shared values, service, and justice, and we will not allow the reckless actions of a few to tarnish our collective integrity.”
The chairman of the board of trustees, the organization’s founders, and every patrol Skull Executioner in the country received copies of the statement.
Before the DNKI leadership released its official statement, the viral film had generated a lot of online reactions, many of which questioned the organization’s nature and methods.
