Sarah Adwoa Safo Confirms Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka’s Burial Date, Dismisses Cancellation Rumours

Former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has confirmed that the burial arrangements for the late Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka have been finalised, dismissing reports suggesting that the funeral plans remain unresolved.

Sarah Adwoa Safo confirms Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka’s burial date, stating that the funeral activities will begin on Thursday, July 30, with the burial ceremony scheduled to take place at Gomoa Mpota.

Her comments follow a press conference by her brother, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena I, Head of the Safo Family and leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana, where he indicated that disagreements surrounding the funeral arrangements had prevented the announcement of a confirmed burial date.

Speaking on Angel FM, Adwoa Safo rejected the claims, explaining that the funeral committee had completed preparations after consultations with key personalities, including the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and former President John Agyekum Kufuor.

According to her, the funeral arrangements were delayed after an earlier date set for June 25 could not proceed.

She assured the public that the funeral would go ahead as planned, outlining the schedule for the final rites.

“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 for the funeral service. Then, on August 8, we will travel to Asante Mampong in Kumasi for the thanksgiving service,” she stated.

Sarah Adwoa Safo urged the public to disregard rumours that the funeral had been cancelled, emphasising that preparations were complete.

Meanwhile, she disclosed that she has successfully undergone surgery after sustaining gunshot injuries during the coronation ceremony of Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena.
