Former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has issued a warning to her brother, Israel Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, against disrupting the funeral and burial of their late father, Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka.
According to Ms. Safo, the funeral arrangements have been approved by the Manhyia Palace, with the burial scheduled to take place in Gomoa Mpota on Thursday, July 30.
Speaking on Citi FM on Tuesday, July 28, she cautioned that any attempt by her brother or his supporters to interfere with the funeral activities would violate the bail conditions that require them to maintain good behaviour.
“I want to remind him and his associates that they are under a bail bond, which stipulates good behavior,” she stated. This warning also extends to other funeral events planned for Independence Square on July 31 and at the Prempeh Assembly Hall in Kumasi on August 8. “If they have any intention of coming to cause any trouble at these events, he should remember that he is under bond to be of good behavior,” she added.
Ms. Safo further revealed that her family has formally requested security support from the police and other law enforcement agencies to ensure the funeral events are conducted peacefully.
“We have informed all law enforcement agencies to provide us with as many security personnel as possible, as we cannot risk any incidents again. This time, maybe God might not save me,” she alleged.
Her comments come amid an ongoing dispute within the Safo family regarding the funeral arrangements for the founder and leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana.
While the Kristo Asafo Mission has stated that it has not been officially notified of any confirmed funeral or burial plans, Ms. Safo maintains that all necessary approvals have been secured and that the ceremonies will proceed as scheduled.
