In response to Perez Chapel’s viral video urging followers of their church to observe a one-week fast and pray for their lead pastor, Bishop Charles Agyinasare, the Chiefs and Elders of Nogokpo have released a statement.
In a widely circulated video, a pastor is heard urging the church’s members to fast and pray for a week in order to support their leader in his struggle because they are in the country and aware of the events involving their founder and Nogokpo and the threat posed by the latter.
Following the viral video, the residents of Nogokpo also issued a statement in which they attempted to correct the church leaders for deceiving their flock.
Nogokpo isn’t the name of a deity or shrine, but rather the name of the town, and the claim that he made wasn’t directed against any deity or shrine is why the town is asking for an apology.
The chiefs and elders who are asking for an apology are not chief priests or evildoers, it continued, and this is not a spiritual matter.
The statement also stated that if the issue is spiritual, the church is prepared to deal with it, but they want to assure the person that they will lose the battle.
It was decided that all they needed to do to restore harmony was to apologize for their remark.
Read the statement below:
Few days ago, the Chiefs and people of Nogokpo in the Ketu South Municipality have given Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, the founder of Perez Chapel International, 14 days to appear before the traditional leaders.
This comes after a video of him describing the town as the Volta Region’s demon headquarters went viral on social media.
However, the Chiefs insist that if the man of God does not appear before them, they will be forced to take further action.
