Osebo's comments came after Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena was installed as the new leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission and the Kantanka Group of Companies.
On the day of the ceremony, which took place at his Kwabenya residence, tensions that had been simmering within the family over the succession dispute erupted into violence.
The situation led to clashes at the venue, during which former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament Sarah Adwoa Safo was shot. About 15 rounds of ammunition were discharged during the incident, with one bullet grazing her near the neck.
Following the violent incidents, Osebo the Zaraman publicly questioned the motives behind the struggle for properties in the family.
He quizzed:
"Your father asked you to apologise to the church and confess everything that you had done to him but you refused to do that and he passed away. Now that he has passed away you are fighting over his properties. You are the only one out of the seven children who is fighting over the properties. Will you send those properties to the grave?"

Osebo challenges Kwadwo Safo Akofena's installation
Osebo the Zaraman was present in court when Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena was granted bail of GH¢500,000 with two sureties by the Adenta Circuit Court.
Speaking to the media following the ruling, Osebo the Zaraman challenged the legitimacy of Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena's claim to leadership.
He argued that the fact that a reinstallation ceremony had been held was itself proof that something had previously gone wrong with Safo Akofena's hold on the position.

Osebo said:
"It is true that no amendment is made to a working constitution. He was appointed as the leader of the church as well as the CEO of his companies. But the question that should be asked is why is he being reinstalled again? It implies that he was ejected."
He, however, clarified that he could not speak to the exact reasons that led to the alleged ejection of Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena from the position.
