She claimed that the church members were made to believe that Apostle Kantanka was a god, a belief she admitted that she deeply regretted as being untrue.

The woman then called on the church members to abandon the idea that the late Ghanaian preacher was a god, especially now that he had passed on.

"I was once a member of this church and deeply involved in this idolatry. We prayed through him instead of through Jesus. In prayer, instead of saying ‘in Jesus’ name’, we would say ‘in the name of Kwadwo Safo.’ But thank God for His salvation, today I know Jesus, the true and living God.

"My heart grieves for the thousands who are perishing because they believe in the name of Kwadwo Safo instead of the name of Jesus. Kristo Asafo, repent! For the Kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus alone is the way, the truth, and the life," her caption read.
