The chiefs and elders of Nogokpo in the Volta Region and Archbishop Charles Agyinasare are currently engaged in a dispute, and gospel singer Sonnie Badu has intervened, urging both parties to seek peace and understanding.
A recent sermon by Archbishop Agyinasare reportedly referred to the Nogokpo community as the “demonic headquarters of the Volta Region,” which sparked the controversy.
Sonnie Badu responded by posting a comment on Facebook outlining his position on the situation.
Badu thanked Bishop Agyinasare for his charitable work in the Volta Region while stating that he is not connected to Perez Chapel International. He emphasized the fact that his wife is from the area and their children have Ewe names, showing his love and appreciation for the community.
In response to the comments made by Archbishop Agyinasare, Badu said it was common for towns to experience witchcraft or trouble brought on by enraged principalities.
He advised the Archbishop to think about establishing a school in Nogokpo as a show of affection and peace, saying that such a deed would be remembered for years to come.
Relatively, Evangelist Mama Pat Agradaa has publicly criticized the Nogokpo shrine’s customs and stated her intention to destroy their gods.
In response to the elders of Nogokpo’s ultimatum concerning Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, she gave her response.
Agradaa, however, has succeeded in drawing attention to herself by making outrageous claims. She implied, during her sermon on Sunday at the Heaven Way Church, that the Nogokpo elders targeted Agyinasare because they thought he was weak.
Agradaa declared outright that if she or her church faced opposition, she would record the conflict with cameras and forcibly enter the Nogokpo temple to destroy the gods there. Clearly, she was trying to highlight her own strength by doing this.
