Former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has dismissed claims that the burial arrangements for the late Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka have not been finalized, insisting that the funeral and burial will commence on Thursday, July 30.
Her comments come after her brother, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena I, Head of the Safo Family and leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana, announced at a press conference that disagreements over the funeral arrangements remained unresolved, making it impossible to confirm a burial date.
Speaking on Accra-based Angel FM, Adwoa Safo rejected that claim, maintaining 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.
She further alleged that the Head of the Safo Family failed to proceed with an earlier funeral date scheduled for June 25, leading to the current arrangements for the funeral to be held in the last week of July.
“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.
Sarah Adwoa Safo also disclosed that she has undergone successful surgery after sustaining gunshot injuries during the coronation of Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena I.
