In response to the Nogokpo incident, the church, Perez Chapel International, announced a one-week fasting and prayers on Sunday, June 4, 2023, for all of its members everywhere.
Following one of the church’s sermons in which the founder claimed Nogokpo was the “demonic headquarters” of the Volta Region, some of the public has criticized Archbishop Charles Agyinasare.
Native people of Nogokpo demanded that the Archbishop apologizes for his remarks, which he made during his service on Sunday, May 28, 2023.
Archbishop Agyinasare clarified that his remarks were never intended to insult the residents of Nogokpo or the Volta Region in general. He clarified that he was merely making reference to an event from a crusade he had held previously.
“In reference to Nogokpo, I wish to clarify that I never intended to refer to the town but an incident that happened after a crusade at Aflao – I had absolutely no intention to cast a slur on the people of Nogokpo town and the Volta Region as a whole,” he stated
In addition, Archbishop Agyinasare expressed regret for the controversy his statement caused and reaffirmed his commitment to acting as Ghana’s spiritual leader.
Three days after the Nogokpo chiefs and residents issued their deadline and one day after the church announced a one-week fasting and prayer period, on Monday morning, June 5, 2023, Archbishop Agyinasare urged church members to keep participating in the prayer meeting.
