In a video shared by blogger Hype Coast on Monday, May 18, 2026, the Kantanka vehicles appeared to have been abandoned at a parking lot after breaking down.

Among the abandoned cars invented by the late Apostle Safo was the infamous private and personalised "Kantanka-Mo", a talking, aeroplane-like vehicle that was outdoored at a public ceremony in December 2019.

The late Kristo Asafo Mission leader's other tricycle-like limousine and other foreign-manufactured cars were also seen dumped at the parking lot.
