Ghanaian actress Mercy Asiedu, known affectionately as Asabea, attended the funeral of the late Apostle Prof. Emeritus Ing. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka at Gomoa Mpota, sharing an emotional tribute about the deep personal bond she shared with him.

Her appearance came at a funeral that has been in contention after a court ruled in favour of an injunction restraining Sarah Adwoa Safo from proceeding with her father's burial arrangements.
