The National Peace Council (NPC) refuted claims of bribery made by the Nogokpo Traditional Council spokesperson, Nufialaga Mawufemor Kobla Nornyigbey, regarding the dispute involving Perez Chapel Founder, Bishop Charles Agyinasare.
In a widely publicized report on October 26, 2023, the spokesperson alleged that Torgbiga Adamah III, the Paramount Chief of Some Traditional Area and President of the Some Traditional Council, had been influenced after a visit from the NPC.
However, the Council has, in a statement, dismissed Nornyigbey’s claims, saying they are “not only false and unsubstantiated but totally unconscionable.”

Nornyigbey also advocated for the dissolution of the NPC, claiming that the Council’s actions were not in line with the promotion of peace. In response, the Peace Council clarified its involvement, stating that it engaged all relevant parties to facilitate a peaceful resolution of the conflict following Agyinasare’s statement in May 2023, where he referred to “Nogokpo as the demonic headquarters of the Volta Region.”
The Council said it spoke with the chief of Nogokpo, Torgbi Saba V, on June 5, 2023, and issued him a “conflicts complaint form”, which he completed and returned on June 9, 2023.
“On June 29, 2023, led by Torgbiga Adamah III and his 13-member Traditional Council team, including Torgbi Saba V of Nogokpo and Torgbi Atsu-Gledza of Nogokpo-Agbakofe.
“Nufialaga Mawufemor Nornyigbey was absent from the meeting, which was held in an open space with over twenty people present. The Council denied meeting Torgbiga Adamah III in private or separately from the main meeting,” the statement explained.
