Interior Cabinet Secretary Professor Kitura Kendiki says detectives probing the massacre have uncovered sexual abuse and exploitation of little girls in Shakahola, the interior CIA says. Detectives have identified the shanties where the sexual orgies took place, adding that investigations have commenced to establish the extent of the abuse. Professor Kindiki also confirmed fears of organ harvesting saying that some of the bodies exhumed were missing body parts.[2]

Meanwhile, investigators continue examining the religious literature of the cult to find clues as to the doctrinal positions that led to the deaths of hundreds of "Message" believers. Along with several copies of books of William Branham's sermons published by Spoken Word Publications and distributed by Voice of God Recordings in Jeffersonville, Indiana,[3] Bibles and other religious books containing notes[4] have given an insight into the cult's theology. Since Branham's death and failed doomsday predictions, several splinter groups of the cult have kept the movement alive by introducing new revelations. Paul Mackenzie is no exception; Mackenzie appears to have used Branham's end-of-day doctrinal teaching as the foundation for his own teachings while adding additional instructions for current times.
One Bible in particular contained notes of Mackenzie's sermons, stating that the "enemies of the chosen ones were the world's governments",[5] a theme found throughout the latter part of William Branham's ministry. Branham worked very closely with high-ranking members of white supremacy groups[6] during the Klan's battle against the government's position on Civil Rights, spreading Wesley Swift's Christian Identity Doctrine as his "Hybreeding" and "Serpent's Seed" doctrines — also among of Mackenzie's foundation teachings.[7]
One of the more interesting finds, however, is a set of notes written in the flyleaf of the Bible of a victim in the Shakahola Massacre. It contains a series of key passages from the Bible which align very closely with Branham's doctrinal teachings against education and government. At the bottom of the page, a note lists Matthew 23:25-26. This key scripture was used when Branham introduced his 1963 sermon, "Souls That Are in Prison Now".
Branham used this passage to bind non-cult-members to government officials, condemning all of them as having joined denominations instead of his cult of personality. They were, according to Branham, a "generation of vipers".
Look what the denominations has done for her. They made her a handler of the Holy Word, which is contrary to the Bible. They made her a preacher. It's forbidden of the Scripture. Even makes her now become ruler, mayor, governors, everything in the country, and a minister in the house of God. {...}
"Now watch here. Matthew 23, and begin at the 27th verse, 'Woe unto you, scribes!' Now, remember, this is holy men He's talking to. Woe unto you, scribes and you Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres (that's dead people, see), whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Hypocrisies and envies and strife, on the inside of them; outside, 'I'm Doctor So-and-so.' Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, (look at the Ecumenical Council and the Pentecostals sitting there), but within you're full of hypocrisies and iniquity.
What is iniquity? Something you actually know is right and you won't do it. Jesus, now watch what He…what generation He puts this on now. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,…(See, 'Oh, the prophets!') And say, If we had been in them days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
'We would have believed the Word of the Lord if we'd have lived back there.' Watch. Wherefore you be witness unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
That's just what's taking place. Now watch what He says here. Ye serpents, and generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell?
How can you do it? Now He's talking to ministers, see, that's right, holy men. How can you stand and know the Bible predicts and tells them people not to do that, and you can stand and compromise for a few lousy, stinking dollars, for some popularity, and somebody to pat you on the back and call you a 'Doctor'? How can you say you love those people? I'm preaching on tapes, too. See?"[8]

Using Branham's themes of anti-government propaganda from the 1960s, Mackenzie introduced similar themes from the Maccabean Revolt of 167-160 BCE. Like Branham's outspoken position against the United States Government, the Maccabean Revolt was a Jewish uprising in Judea — but for a much different reason. Maccabeans rose against the repression of the Seleucid Empire, not in favor of the racial segregation of public schools as white supremacists did in the 1960s. The Books of Maccabees, collectively part of the "Apocrypha", were removed from most versions of the Bible by the Protestant Church in the 1800s, though some versions of the Bible still contain them.
The core sect of the "Message" cult following of William Branham does not generally accept the Apocrypha as inspired by God, though some in the cult use the books as a historical reference. Branham, the cult's authority on doctrine and scripture, did not accept Maccabees as inspired.[9] Mackenzie's sect apparently used the books of Maccabees as a reference, underlining key passages in the books that aligned with Branham's core doctrine.[10] One passage selected was First Maccabbees 2:29 describing those who "sought righteousness and justice [and] went out into the wilderness".
Pieces of literature littered the sprawling death camp and provided clues to the core teachings of the doomsday cult. This book had particular sections underlined… First Maccabees Chapter 2 from verse 29 reading in part: 'At that time many who sought righteousness and justice went out into the wilderness* to settle there, they and their children, their wives and their animals, because misfortunes pressed so hard on them.'The very teaching that most of Mackenzie's sermons gave. It goes on to read:
'The pursuers said to them, 'Enough of this! come out and obey the king's command, and you will live. but they replied, 'We will not come out, nor will we obey the king's command to profane the Sabbath. then the enemy attacked them at once.'But they did not retaliate; they neither threw stones nor blocked up their secret refuges. they said, 'Let us all die in innocence; heaven and earth are our witnesses that you destroy us unjustly.'[11]
