- Nogokpo is a small village located in the Ketu South Municipal of the Volta Region of Ghana along the Trans–West African Coastal Highway. History Nogokpo was founded by Torgbui Saba. He migrated from Agbozume Sukladzi and was one of the brave war captains of the Somey State. Saba’s ancestors originated from Ningo and were displaced by the Akwamu wars.In order to strengthen himself spiritually 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 or Thor of the ancient Scandinavians.A misunderstanding with the town folks of Agbozume compelled Saba to move to Nogokpo which was then his farmstead. Etymology Nogokpo: Ewe language — E: nor : ge : kpo: a ? Will you live here peacefully or crime free?That was the question he asked anyone who asked to live near him in his new location. This is a warning in reference to his god not tolerating vice. There is an alternative narration: Ewe language: Ma ble nye nua nogoe kpo. Let me tie (bundle) my stuff without troubles. This narration is in reference to his exodus from Agbozume with his god. It is noted for its traditional and spiritual shrine. (en)
