Marwa denies involvement in Freemasonry activities
However, Marwa vehemently denied these accusations and clarified his stance on Freemasonry. He emphasised that he believed in God and held no hostility toward Freemasons.
The situation escalated to the extent that the local area chief called a meeting to address the rumours and bring clarity to the matter.
"I believe in God and I am not a Mason I have nothing against them... ignorance is a disease. It was so serious that the area chief called a meeting 2 weeks ago to address the rumours," he stated.
Marwa used the opportunity to encourage his fellow villagers to embrace success and reject poverty.
"Tell these people to welcome success. Poverty is not for God, and riches are not for the Devil," he stated.
