• An Accra High Court has issued a 10-day interim injunction stopping Sarah Adwoa Safo from proceeding with the funeral and burial arrangements for her late father, Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka.

• The order followed an application by the Kristo Asafo Mission over disagreements concerning who has the legal authority to oversee the late industrialist’s final funeral rites.

• The court’s decision puts the planned 30 and 31 July 2026 funeral arrangements on hold, despite Adwoa Safo previously insisting that the ceremonies would go ahead as scheduled.

Citi News reported that the order was granted after the Kristo Asafo Mission filed an application concerning matters linked to the estate of the late industrialist and founder of the mission.

Lawyer Nana Kofi Safo Kantanka, who represents the Kristo Asafo Mission, confirmed that the injunction temporarily restrains Adwoa Safo from making or executing any funeral arrangements until the court reviews the issues before it.

However, before the court order was issued, Adwoa Safo had maintained that the funeral would proceed as planned. Speaking on Eyewitness News on Tuesday, 28 July, she warned her brother, Kwadwo Safo Akofena, against interfering with the arrangements.
