Former Assembly Member for Nogokpo allegedly commits Suicide
The unfortunate incident has left many residents in the area wondering if the recent impasse between the chiefs and people of Nogokpo and Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, founder and general overseer of the Perez Chapel International, could have anything to do with the bizarre passing of the former Assemblyman.

Jonas Fotor Agbagba, current assemblyman for the area said he met with the deceased just a day before the incident and they both had some discussions on the forward march of the electoral area and wondered what could have led him to take his own life.
“I met with him just yesterday – as you know, the local assembly elections are just in the corner and so we had some discussions as to how best to position myself for the election and some other matters relating to the progress of the electoral area. He is someone who really has the interest of the area at heart – I just can’t believe he could do this to himself,” Agbagba lamented.
