C/R:Apostle Kojo Safo Kantanka Funeral: Church Members Deny Knowledge of Court Injunction
Some members of the Kristo Asafo Mission have dismissed reports that a High Court injunction has halted the final funeral rites of the church’s founder and leader, the late Apostle Emeritus Dr Kojo Safo Kantanka.
The funeral, which is taking place at Gomoa Mpota in the Gomoa Central District of the Central Region, is proceeding as planned despite widespread reports that the High Court in Accra granted an interim injunction on Wednesday to stop the funeral and burial arrangements.
Scores of mourners, family members, church leaders, and Kristo Asafo Mission members from various branches across Ghana have gathered at the funeral grounds to pay their final respects to the late Apostle, with activities continuing uninterrupted.
Speaking to Mireku Nyampong, some church members and funeral attendees said they were unaware of any court order preventing the funeral from taking place.
According to them, no official communication has been served on the church or the organisers directing them to suspend the funeral activities.
The members maintained that they would continue with the funeral programme as scheduled and appealed to the public to join them in celebrating the life, achievements, and legacy of Apostle Kojo Safo Kantanka.
They also urged the public to disregard reports suggesting that the funeral had been halted, insisting that they have not received any official notice of an injunction.
The comments come amid an ongoing legal dispute over the funeral arrangements following reports that the High Court issued a temporary injunction restraining the planned burial and funeral rites pending the determination of a legal case.
