Kwadwo Safo Jnr, a son of the late Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka and younger brother of former Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo, has said wherever his father is, he would be gutted and disappointed over the family’s succession dispute.
Adwoa Safo’s younger brother appealed for unity within the Kristo Asafo family, warning that public feud and violence could have lasting consequences on their late father’s legacy.
Speaking at a press conference organised by concerned supporters of the former MP on Thursday, June 25, Kwadwo Safo stated, “Wherever my father is resting now, he would be deeply saddened and extremely disappointed”.
“With what has happened, I want to tell members of Kristo Asafo that if we remain divided, it is our father’s name and legacy that we are tarnishing. After laying our father to rest, if we seek support from investors to help grow the company, they may be reluctant to assist us. Whatever is happening now will have repercussions for all of us.”
He further recounted events leading up to the shooting, saying, “Everyone knows that I go almost everywhere with Adwoa Safo”.
“When she called to tell me she was going there, she said, ‘Kwadwo, contact our other siblings and let them know we are meeting there. We all agreed that whatever decision our father made regarding his successor, we would stand by it. Whoever he chose, we would be the ones to enstool that person, gather around them, and take a photograph together because it was our father who made that choice. That was the main purpose of our visit.”
“My sister called and said, ‘Kwadwo, let us go there and tell them that since some of our siblings are absent, it would not be appropriate to proceed.’ “They should wait for all of us because we have about 40 days until our father’s funeral.”
“When the Honourable called that we should meet there, for just one funny reason; if I had been there… I called one of our cousins, and I would have sat at the back with Adwoa while he drove us there.”
“So it was either the gunshot would have touched me, and the Honourable, or the Honourable would have died in my arms.”
He further revealed that moments before leaving to join his sister, he developed a sudden stomach upset.
“When I was about to get on the pickup and meet her so that we could go together, all of a sudden, I had a stomach upset, so I had to go back,” he added.
Meanwhile, the aunt of Adwoa Safo, Nana Pomaa Nyira, has narrated what the former MP told her about the harrowing incident.
Nana Pomaa Nyira claimed that Adwoa Safo told her the late Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka played a spiritual role in shielding her from bullets.
According to the Aunt, Adwoa Safo recounted experiencing a supernatural moment during the incident.
She disclosed that Adwoa Safo revealed to her that she saw a bright light covering her face, and within that moment, she saw her late father shielding her from bullets.
Speaking at a brief press conference at the 37 Military Hospital on June 23, 2026, Nana Pomaa Nhyira stated. “Adwoa said that as the bullets were approaching, a bright light suddenly covered her face, and she saw Daddy (Apostle Kwadwo Safo) standing before her, taking the bullets.
If he was able to shield her from the bullets and prevent them from harming her, then he should also support the doctors in healing her and ensure that she receives justice,” her aunt said.
Nana Pomaa Nhyira further urged the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka to also support the doctors in treating her niece and ensure that she receives justice.
