Nogokpo leaders give Agyinasare 14 days to appear before them

The Chiefs and people of Nogokpo in the Ketu South Municipality have issued a 14-day ultimatum to Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, the founder and leader of the Perez Church International to appear before them to resolve a dispute arising from some statements he made.

.

They believe this indicates a deliberate attempt to tarnish the reputation of the people of Nogokpo and to weaken the African Traditional Religion through religious intolerance.

.

“The Archbishop in his second sermon and clarification showed no remorse or regretfulness, an indication that he deliberately decided to tarnish the good reputation of the people of Nogokpo and a calculated damage mechanism of the usual religious intolerance to weaken African Traditional Religion”.

The statement continued that, the utterances of the Archbishop about Nogokpo being the “Demonic Headquarters” of the Volta Region is rather unfortunate, as “Nogokpo is situated along the ECOWAS Highway where thousands of vehicles carrying humans and goods ply on a daily basis but had not encountered any derogatory comment from such road users”.

The chiefs and people of Nogokpo also called on the National Peace Council to “help Archbishop Charles Agyinasare appear before the council of elders of the Nogokpo community within 14 days for amicable resolution”.

According to him, when they got to Nogokpo, the tyres under the four-wheel drive they were using came out under the car adding that it happened after they had preached about witchcraft and destroyed their works on the second night of the crusade at Aflao.

According to Nogokpo, due to what Archbishop Agyinasare said about them, they have lost a noble investor prepared to start a business in the town.
