One of the most unbeatable and indoubtable names in the history of Ghana is Nogokpo. The least mention of the name “Nogokpo” brings fear and shiver in the spines of many people.
Nogokpo was founded by Torgbui Saba. He was believed to have migrated from Agbozume Sukladzi and was one of the most brave war captains of the Somey State. Saba’s ancestors originated from Ningo and were displaced by the Akwamu wars.
According to his history, in order to make himself spiritually strong for war, he embarked on spiritual journey to Dahomey and came back with the Yewe god of thunder similar to Shango cult of the Yoruba, in order to make himself spiritually strong for war. A misunderstanding with the town folks of Agbozume pushed Torgbui Saba to move to Nogokpo which was then his farmstead.
Nogokpo is a small village located in the Ketu South Municipal of the Volta Region of Ghana along the Trans–West African Coastal Highway. The town is popularly known for it’s powerful shrine where people go to settle their issues. The name Nogokpo means “stay in peace”.
Undoubtedly, Nogokpo is one of the most fearful names in Ghana’s history. Kindly like,comment and share.
