According to oral tradition, the Ewes migrated from Notsie to present-day Ghana to escape a wicked king called Agokoli. The story is told that King Agokoli oppressed the Ewes and gave them impossible tasks to perform. He decided to destroy the Ewes, hence their forced migration from Notsie. Amenumey, the eminent historian and many scholars agree that the Ewes migrated from Notsie to Ghana. Thus, unlike the Ewes who are believed to have migrated from Yoruba through Dahomey to Ghana, the Ga-Adangbes were deemed indigenous people from Ghana who fled as far as Dahomey due to the Akwamu war, and later returned to Ghana.
