The spokesperson of the former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, Seth Kofi Kissi, has revealed that the body of Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka was never at Transitions Funeral Home.
According to Adwoa Safo’s spokesperson, the former MP entrusted him with personally entrusting him with the responsibility of going to retrieve the body of the late founder of the Kristo Asafo Mission.
He disclosed that reports suggesting that the Police stopped the hearse transporting the body of Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka were not accurate, revealing that the body was never seized.
Seth Kofi Kissi also revealed that Adwoa Safo made arrangements for a brand-new vehicle, which had not been used to transport her late father’s remains.
Speaking in an interview on Neat FM, Adwoa Safo’s spokesperson stated, “Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka’s body was never at Transitions. I was honoured when Adwoa Safo personally entrusted me with the responsibility of bringing the body from where it had been kept.
“It was only after I returned that I saw claims circulating on social media that the body had been seized, but nothing of that sort happened. Adwoa Safo ensured that a brand-new vehicle, one that had never been used or seen before, was used to transport the body,” Kissi stated.
The spokesperson’s revelation follows reports suggesting the hearse transporting the body of the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka from the Transitions Funeral Home has been stopped by the Police.
According to reports, the Police stopped the hearse citing a court order, even as funeral proceedings continue at Gomoa Mpota.
However, reports suggest a casket believed to contain the body of the late Kwadwo Safo Kantanka has arrived at Gomoa Mpota for the final funeral rites.
The development follows the Accra High Court granting a 10-day interim injunction restraining former Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo from proceeding with the funeral and burial of the late Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka.
The High Court order follows an application filed by the Kristo Asafo Mission over matters relating to the estate of its late founder.
The injunction follows a dispute within the Safo family over who has the legal mandate to organise the burial and carry out the late Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka’s final wishes.
The late Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka’s funeral was scheduled to take place on July 30, 2026, at Gomoa Mpotua in the Central Region, with a national farewell expected to be held at the Independence Square in Accra on July 31, 2026.
Earlier, Sarah Adwoa Safo had firmly stated that the funeral of her late father, Apostle Kwadwo Safo, will take place on July 30 as previously announced, urging the public to disregard any reports suggesting otherwise.
Adwoa Safo dismissed claims that the burial arrangements for the late Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka have not been finalised.
According to Adwoa Safo, the funeral and burial will come live and coloured as scheduled on July 30 and 31, adding that those who do not understand can go and burn the sea.
She noted that her father’s remarkable contributions deserve a befitting farewell and assured that she will do everything within her means to ensure his final rites are honoured without any interference or misinformation disrupting the arrangements.
Speaking on OKAY FM, Adwoa Safo stated, “We have written to all the security agencies that we are burying our father; a lot of people have called me, Adwoa, we have gotten the invitation. Is it coming on? And I have confirmed it to all people in authority: the Speaker of Parliament, the flagbearer of the NPP, the Chief of Staff, the former Chief of Staff, and the former leader of parliament. What should I do?”.
Also, Adwoa Safo, speaking on Accra-based, maintained that the funeral committee had already concluded arrangements after consultations with key stakeholders, including the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and former President John Agyekum Kufuor.
“On the 30th of July, we will go to Gomoa Mpota to bury my late father. On the 31st of July, we will be at Independence Square to hold the funeral service. Then, on the 8th of August, we will travel to Asante Mampong in Kumasi for the thanksgiving service. So everyone should disregard the rumours that the funeral will not take place or that it has been cancelled,” she said.
