Akofena warns church members over Kantanka funeral
In the viral video, Safo Akofena's message was direct: Kristo Asafo Mission members should not make the journey to Accra for the burial event being planned by his sister.
He also reiterated that the planned burial of the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo by Adwoa Safo would not happen as he previously announced in public.
He said:
"What I am telling all church members is that nobody should pick a car and travel to Accra for the funeral of my father. Nobody should decide to leave their hometown for Accra for any funeral. There will be no funeral on July 30."
Akofena stated that his family, the church and other leaders would hold a meeting together to settle the ongoing disputes to avoid any blemish on his late father's legacy.
The Kristo Asafo Mission leader's statement came just hours after Adwoa Safo defied an earlier instruction from her brother and declared she would go ahead with the funeral, scheduled for Thursday, July 30, 2026, during an interview with Saddick Adams.
Akofena had announced the annulment of the upcoming funeral of the late Kantanka in a press conference on Monday, July 27, 2026.
The instruction signalled a deepening rift within the family over who holds the authority to organise the final rites for their late father, the founder and apostle of the church.
The competing claims over the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo's funeral have now placed both the family and the Kristo Asafo Mission congregation in an uncomfortable spotlight, with loyalties now being tested on both sides.
