Adwoa Safo allegedly ‘hides’ Apostle Safo’s body

In an explosive interview on Adom FM on Thursday, May 21, 2026, Dr. Philip Siaw Kissi, the Family Secretary and Co- Chairman of the Apostle Kwadwo Safo Funeral Planning Committee, stirred drama by levelling accusations against Adwoa Safo.

He said that after Apostle Safo’s death, the family came to see Adwoa Safo to take his body, as tradition demands. However, she refused to do so, claiming it was being kept at a secure location. Dr Siaw alleged that six out of Apostle Safo’s seven children do not know the location of their father’s body.

“When someone dies, the family is supposed to go and see the body as per tradition. However, right now as I speak, even we, the family, do not know the whereabouts of Apostle Safo's body. Even when it comes to his children, we know he had seven children, six of them do not know where the father is,” he said.

“Adwoa Safo told the family that where her father's body was being kept was somewhere special, that even she needed the President's permission to access the location and see the body. It did not make any sense to us, but because we did not want any scandal, we remained mute,” he added.
