Otumfuo warns Apostle Safo's family
Previously, YEN.com.gh reported that Otumfuo Osei Tutu warned Apostle Kwadwo Safo's family to refrain from petty misunderstandings while preparing for his funeral.
Former Dome Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo, led a family delegation to Manhyia Palace to officially inform the Asante monarch of the late Kristo Asafo founder's death.
In a video, the Asantehene was heard admonishing the family to ensure that arrangements for the late industrialist's death proceeded smoothly and without needless drama.
