Nogokpo, a small town in the Volta region of Ghana, is cloaked in mystery due to the theory attached. Many people experience chills down their spines at the mere mention of the term Nogokpo.
Nogokpo, however, means “remain in peace.” The entire township is not open to public access. There are several places where sandals or shoes are not permitted.
Many people come to this shrine in search of answers and remedies to their issues from the Nogokpo gods, not through the legal, contemporary court system, but rather through a spiritual sort of justice.
Every time we come here, we always find solutions to our difficulties, one local said.
Torgbui Agbodzalu Amuzu, a regent of Nogokpo, states that the gods of the land do not murder people unfairly or damage innocent people; instead, they punish disobedient individuals whose families make the ultimate sacrifice of death or are granted permanent residence at the shrine. The shrine, according to Torgbui Amuzu, was transported from Agbozume following a miscommunication between the populace and their leader, Torgbui, in the 1900s.
The residents of Nogokpo claim that while you are welcome to come and live with them joyfully, things might get complicated if you have bad intentions.
Because of the dread of receiving a terrible punishment from the gods if found, crimes like theft are practically nonexistent in this society.
A little community called Nogokpo is situated along the Trans-West African Coastal Highway in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region. It is renowned for its historic and religious shrine. The Torgbui Sabah-founded shrine is renowned for having strong spiritual forces that rule the region and provide swift justice.
Power is in nature.
