Kristo Asafo Mission distances itself from alleged burial rites, calls for enforcement of court injunction

Kristo Asafo Mission has distanced itself from alleged burial and funeral activities reportedly taking place at the Apostle Safo Suaye Centre at Gomoa Mpota. In a statement, the church's leadership reaffirmed its support for its leader, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, insisting it has no involvement in the alleged burial rites. The statement said, "We wish to state that our leadership is not involved in any way in the supposed burial rites taking place at the Apostle Safo Suaye Centre at Gomoa Mpota."

The church stated that the Aduana Kotoko Royal Family of Essumeja secured an injunction restraining all burial and funeral activities relating to the matter and notified security agencies. The Apostle Safo Suaye Centre and the Museum facility are legitimate properties of the Kristo Asafo Mission. The leadership alleged that on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Adwoa Safo, demanded keys to the premises from the Museum Facility Management Committee but was refused. The church later received intelligence suggesting an attempt to break into the facility and expressed disappointment with the police's failure to adequately secure the premises or stop the burial despite being served with the court injunction.
