During his visit, Wode Maya spoke with the town’s chief and other high-ranking officials. They explained that Nogokpo was deeply rooted in the pursuit of truth and served as a destination for people seeking spiritual justice. Unlike modern courts, individuals visit Nogokpo’s shrine to resolve disputes and find answers through spiritual means.
The chief highlighted that Nogokpo strictly opposes social vices such as lying, stealing, and backbiting. He described the town as a place where honesty was valued above all else.
A senior member of the town further explained the meaning of its name, which translates to ‘Will you be here quietly?’ He said this reflected the town’s expectation that visitors respect its rules and traditions. He mentioned that violating these norms was considered highly disrespectful and could lead to serious consequences.
One unique custom Wode Maya observed was that residents of Nogokpo preferred to walk barefoot to certain parts of the town. They explained that this practice was part of their many spiritual beliefs.
Nogokpo’s reputation has often sparked fear among many Ghanaians. The mere mention of its name is enough to instil unease.
