The tensions surrounding the Kantanka family have deepened in recent days after Akofena and some family members held a press conference to update the public on the situation.
During the presser, held on Monday, July 27, 2026, they dismissed reports suggesting the burial of the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka would take place on July 30, clarifying that no date had been finalised.
Akofena and the family also addressed the wider rift surrounding his sister, Sarah Adwoa Safo.
The late Apostle, founder of the Kristo Asafo Mission and the Kantanka Group of Companies, passed away in 2025, and his burial has since been delayed amid the dispute between his children.

Akofena remarked:
"It's been almost a year since my father passed away, and I haven't been able to see his body."
He added:
"Come on we've been very patient enough and it's not the best. It's very embarrassing and painful."
