The accusations come amid growing tensions in the family over the burial of the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, founder of the Kristo Asafo Mission and Kantanka Group of Companies.
While rumours had been rife that the automobile pioneer would be laid to rest on July 30, 2026, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena and some family members dismissed those claims during a press conference held on Monday, July 27, 2026.
Safo also alleged that his sister had denied him access to view their father's body, deepening the rift between the siblings.
The dispute has since drawn widespread public attention, with both sides making conflicting claims about the circumstances surrounding their father's burial.
Family claims Adwoa Safo wants corpse
That claim was made by an unnamed family member during the same press conference.
On July 27, 2026, he addressed the media on why Adwoa Safo has allegedly refused to release their father's body, according to the family's own account.
According to the unnamed man, the family finds it baffling that Adwoa Safo has yet to release the body for burial, describing the situation as incomprehensible.
He said the only conclusion they could arrive at was that she might need it for reasons beyond a normal burial.
The unnamed family member indicated:
"It appears that Adwoa Safo needs the body for an unknown activity. Because it's incomprehensible. Because it's strange that after 10 months none of the family members has laid eyes on the body of the late Safo Kantanka."
He added:
"So we think our daughter wants to use the body for some strange activity. If not, why doesn't she want to release the corpse?"

Adwoa Safo vows to proceed burial
According to an earlier report by YEN.com.gh, Adwoa Safo disclosed in an interview with journalist Saddick Adams on Angel TV that 48 bullets were fired into her car in a recent shooting incident.
Despite the attack, the former MP insisted that her late father's burial would proceed as planned on Thursday, July 30, 2026, defying her brother Safo Akofena's earlier announcement cancelling the ceremony on Monday, July 27, 2026.
