A resurfaced video of the late Apostle Prof. Emeritus Kwadwo Safo Kantanka has emerged online, showing him making a striking claim about a river he says he created in Obuasi.

Apostle Kantanka, founder of the Kristo Asafo Mission and Kantanka Automobile, died on September 11, 2025, at the age of 113.

He was widely celebrated in Ghana as an inventor, philanthropist, and industrialist, earning the nickname "the African Star" for his push toward local manufacturing and self-reliance.

Since his death, his family has been locked in a public dispute over his funeral, succession, and legacy, a saga that has repeatedly brought old footage of him back into circulation.
