Kwadwo Safo Jnr grabbed headlines several weeks ago after a statement from the family of the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo warned the public against dealing with him.
The statement warned that anyone who conducts any family-related business with the former Kantanka Automobiles Chief Executive Officer (CEO) did so at their own risk.
“The family of the late Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo wishes to inform the general public that no individual, including Mr Kwadwo Safo Jnr, has been authorised to act on behalf of the family in any transactions related to the businesses of the late Apostle or in connection with the organisation of his funeral. The public is advised to desist from dealing with him on such matters,” the October 6 statement read in part.
