A Nigerian based business man, Captain Joseph Atsu Evadzi from the Knonuga division was enstooled as Torgbui Agblede II.

On his part, the Member of Parliament for Keta, Kwame Dzudzorli Gakpey, urged the new chiefs to work in harmony with the people to ensure rapid development in the community.
Mr Gakpey assured that he will continue to lobby for developmental projects and other social amenities to be extended to the Anlo Afiadenyigba community.
The Dufua of Anlo Afiadenyigba, Torgbui Kadzahlo IV used the opportunity to advise the youth to eschew social vices.
He bemoaned the increase in cyber fraud, drug abuse among others. Also, Chairman of the Anlo Afiadenyigba Youth Council, Bubu Klinogo underscored the important roles chiefs play in the socio economic development of every community.
