Ghana’s Kantanka Family Suspends Apostle Kwadwo Safo’s July 30 Burial

Kwadwo Safo Kantanka Kristo Asafo burial suspension family will dispute Ghana

The Kantanka family and the leadership of the Kristo Asafo Mission announced that the planned burial of the late Apostle Prof. Emeritus Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, scheduled for July 30, 2026, has been suspended. The suspension follows a dispute over the implementation of the Apostle’s last will and testament, which the family says will be resolved in court.

Family head Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena I stated that reconciliation attempts involving siblings, church elders, traditional leaders and former Member of Parliament Sarah Adwoa Safo have failed, prompting the family to seek legal action through Kwame Gyan & Associates. He also urged the public to disregard any unofficial burial date announcements and to await an official statement from the family.
