The National Peace Council has revealed to the public it has taken a proactive step in mediating a peace agreement between the Nogokpo Traditional Authorities and Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, the founder of Perez Chapel International.
A statement issued by the Council said “The National Peace Council has noted with concern the current impasse between Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, the founder of Perez Chapel International and Nogokpo Traditional Authorities.”
It added, “Recognizing the fact that the impasse if not quickly addressed may have consequences on peaceful coexistence and religious tolerance in the country, the National Peace Council, in pursuit of its mandate to facilitate conflict prevention, appeals to the Nogokpo Traditional Authorities and Perez Chapel International to remain calm and not give in to provocations as efforts are being undertaken to address the situation.”
“The Council calls on all those who have been affected in any way by the stalemate to exercise restraint and circumspection in their comments and pronouncements on the matter. The Council further urges the media and all those who make statements on the matter to exercise maximum restraint in their narratives to protect the peace, stability, and integrity of our beloved country.
“We want to inform the public that the Volta Regional Peace Council has begun the process to engage the parties for amicable redress.”
The traditional council had issued a 14-day ultimatum to the man of God asking him to appear before them over comments he made about Nogokpo.
The man of God had described the area as demonic headquarters based on an experience he had encountered.
He subsequently apologised over the matter.
However, the traditional leaders insisted he ought to appear before them.
