Togbui Adamah III, the Paramount Chief and President of the Somey Traditional Council in the Volta Region, has distanced himself from the chiefs who gave Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, the Founder of the Perez Chapel International, a 14-day deadline to appear before the traditional authority or face the wrath of their gods.
The Paramount Chief wants the general populace to ignore the order.
Given that the Archbishop has already apologized, he called for a halt to hostilities and for peace.
Speaking to TV3 on Monday, June 5, 2023, Togbui Adamah III said “What happened at Nogokpo, I am not associated with it. Did they have the capacity to do that? On what law are they relying on?
“My chief consulted me on Monday and he asked, what should we do and the first thing I ask is, has somebody brought the case?”
“Nogokpo is the name of the town but the shrine is not Nogokpo. The shrine is Gbakadza so if you are a chief of Nogokpo and I am a Paramount chief I can only receive a complaint from my subjects who are over there superintending on issues of the shrine. So the first question I asked him was, has our people come and complained to you officially that what has happened has affected the shrine or the god? He said nobody.
“I said then wait and let us do the Council meeting then we will discuss it there and take a decision from there. So that was my instruction, then from nowhere I only heard of threat at a press conference which I don’t know anything about,” the Paramount Chief stated.
Meanwhile, some traditional chiefs from Nogokpo are burnt on fighting Bishop Agyinasare and they have threatened to go boot for boot after Perez Chapel declared a one week fast for all its church member in Ghana.
