Kristo Asafo Mission rejects burial rites of late leader, accuses security agencies of failing to enforce court order

The leadership of the Kristo Asafo Mission in Ghana has publicly distanced itself from the ongoing burial and funeral rites for its founder, Prof. Emeritus Apostle Kwadwo Safo. The church stated that its various organs and fellowships remain aligned with the decision of its current leader, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, and are not involved in the ceremonies taking place at the Apostle Safo Suaye Centre in Gomoa Mpota.

A significant point of contention is a court injunction secured by the Aduana Kotoko Royal Family of Essumeja, which explicitly restrains all burial and funeral activities. The church leadership claims this order was communicated to the police and other security agencies, who were expected to enforce it.

Furthermore, the Kristo Asafo Mission leadership alleged that former Member of Parliament Adwoa Safo attempted to gain access to the museum on the property, a request that was denied. The church also reported receiving information about an alleged attempt to break into the facility. They expressed disappointment with the police and National Security apparatus, stating that efforts to protect the properties have been unsuccessful due to a lack of adequate security and enforcement of the court injunction.

We have not been treated fairly.

The church leadership asserted that the Apostle Safo Suaye Centre and the museum are lawful properties of the Kristo Asafo Mission. They also claimed that Adwoa Safo intended to bury a "decoy" body. The church urged its members to remain calm and vigilant while calling on security agencies to enforce the Accra High Court injunction issued on July 29, 2026.

The church leadership emphasized its history as a peaceful organization but expressed concern over growing impatience among some members. They are awaiting the outcome of the legal matter and are focused on ensuring the founder's actual body is released for a befitting burial.
