The National Peace Council (NPC) has issued a challenge to Nufialaga Mawufemor Kobla Nornyigbey, the spokesperson of the Nogokpo Traditional Council, for his claims that certain chiefs involved in mediating the dispute between Perez Chapel Founder, Bishop Charles Agyinasare, and Nogokpo had been influenced by the Council through bribes.

 

Various news outlets published Nornyigbey’s statements on October 26, 2023, where he alleged that Torgbiga Adamah III, the Paramount Chief of Some Traditional Area and President of the Some Traditional Council, had been compromised following a visit by the NPC. Nornyigbey also called for the abolishment of the NPC, contending that the Council’s actions were not in line with the pursuit of peace.

 

The NPC has categorically refuted Nornyigbey’s claims, describing them as “false, unsubstantiated, and utterly unethical.” In a response, the Council clarified that it had engaged with all pertinent stakeholders to facilitate a peaceful resolution to the conflict that arose after Agyinasare’s May 2023 statement labeling Nogokpo as the “demonic headquarters of the Volta Region.”

 

The Council noted that it held discussions with the Chief of Nogokpo, Torgbi Saba V, on June 5, 2023, and provided him with a “conflicts complaint form,” which he completed and returned on June 9, 2023. Furthermore, the NPC reported that an eight-member delegation from the Council engaged with the Some Traditional Council on June 29, 2023. The team was led by Torgbiga Adamah III and included his 13-member Traditional Council, comprising Torgbi Saba V of Nogokpo and Torgbi Atsu-Gledza of Nogokpo-Agbakofe.

 

The NPC clarified that Nufialaga Mawufemor Nornyigbey did not participate in the meeting, which took place in a public setting with over twenty attendees. The Council firmly denied any private or separate meeting with Torgbiga Adamah III apart from the main gathering. Consequently, the NPC called on Nufialaga Mawufemor Nornyigbey to retract his statements and issue an apology for making false and damaging remarks.
