The newly installed leader of the Kristo Asafo Movement, Nana Kwadwo Safo Kantanka Jnr (Akofena) has declared during his address to the public that he now regards his Adwoa Safo and his other siblings as his children.
Nana Kwadwo Safo Kantanka Jnr also revealed that he is ready to reconcile with his elder sister, the former Minister and MP Sarah Adwoa Safo.
According to Nana Kwadwo Safo Kantanka Jnr, as head of the Kristo Asafo Mission, his role has changed the nature of his relationship with his brothers and sisters.
Speaking during a public address on July 27, 2026, Akofena stated, “They’re no longer my siblings. They’re now my children”.
“Going forward, I will call my child and the rest of my children, and the family will also be part of calling my eldest child, Sarah Adwoa Safo, so we can settle our differences. We do not want our issues to come out here.
Nana Kwadwo Safo Kantanka Jnr’s remarks come weeks after the dispute within the family of the late Apostle Prof. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka which escalated into violence.
Meanwhile, Lawyers representing Sarah Adwoa Safo have petitioned the Attorney-General to transfer the shooting case from the Adenta Circuit Court to the High Court.
According to Lawyers for Adwoa Safo, the main offence in the case is a first-degree felony and can only be tried by the High Court.
In her petition dated June 25, 2026, Adwoa Safo argued that the Circuit Court also lacks jurisdiction to hear bail applications in the matter.
Her petition is asking the Attorney General to review the police docket and have the case refiled at the High Court.
Parts of the petition read, “Respectfully, the offence of intentionally and unlawfully causing harm with the use of an offensive weapon is a first-degree felony and is triable on indictment before the High Court, not the Circuit Court”.
“In view of the aforesaid, we have been duly instructed to petition your office to call for the docket, review and have the case filed at the High Court for the matter to go through full trial in an expeditious manner”.
Meanwhile, the case involving the younger brother of Sarah Adwoa Safo, Israel Kwadwo Safo and eight others has been adjourned to September 23.
The nine individuals were accused in connection with the shooting incident involving Sarah Adwoa Safo.
In court, the nine bail in the sum of GH¢500,000 each with two sureties are not required to be justified, but must sign a bail justification.
All nine accused in court pleaded not guilty to five charges, including use of an offensive weapon, possession of an offensive weapon, prohibition of vigilante groups, discharging of firearms in public, and causing unlawful damage.
The accused include Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, the brother of the injured former MP, along with Jehosaphat Tamaklo Safo, Kwabena Safo, and Benjamin Amoakwa Sam.
Enock Badu, Richard Ayitey, Gideon Safo, Nana Kwaku Afriyie, and Kwadwo Safo Koomsom are the other suspects.
According to prosecutors, the alleged shooting resulted in injuries to Ms Adwoa Safo during the installation process within the Kristo Asafo Mission.
Speaking to Eyewitness News on Tuesday, June 23, the lawyer for Nana Kofi Safo Kantanka confirmed the charges.
He disclosed that the prosecution’s case is on unlawful possession of weapons and involvement in prohibited vigilante activity.
“The charges were the prohibition of vigilante groups and then possession of weapons unlawfully. Basically, those were the two charges that I went through,” Nana Kofi Safo Kantanka stated.
