Following the founder of the Resurrection Power New Generation Church's death at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in February 2023, a public feud broke out between his wife and family, including the deceased's children and the Abusuapanin (family head).
Before Anthony Boakye's burial, Margaret, who handled the church, secured a court injunction against her husband's family and a funeral home to halt her late husband's final funeral rites from being held.
In her suit, she accused her late husband's family of sidelining her from their meetings regarding the funeral arrangements.
Margaret Boakye alleges exclusion from funeral arrangements
Margaret, who was married to Anthony Boakye for 26 years, claimed that obituaries, invitation cards, and other notices had excluded her identity as the wife, while she had also not been officially notified of the funeral arrangements of her late husband.
She had previously broken away to form her own church after some disagreements with the church leadership during her husband's battle with health issues.
Her legal action led to friction with members of her husband's family, including his daughter, Yaa Boakye, who kicked against it in a video on social media, warning that any individual who would block the funeral from happening would face severe action from God.
Despite the injunction, the late Anthony Boakye was laid in state at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) from August 4 to 5, 2023, with the funeral rites taking place on August 5, 2023, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Former president Nana Akufo-Addo was among several high-profile personalities who attended the funeral service.
Despite being the late prophet's wife, Margaret was prohibited from attending the burial service and performing the widowhood rites as per the Akan customs.
