The passing of Apostle Professor Emeritus Kwadwo Safo Kantanka renowned industrialist, inventor, and founder of the Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana has taken a complex legal turn. An Accra High Court issued a 10-day interim injunction temporarily halting the scheduled funeral and burial services following an internal family and estate dispute.
The legal action, initiated by the Kristo Asafo Mission and key leadership of the Kantanka family, specifically restrains former Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo from proceeding with organized burial arrangements.
1. What Triggered the Court Injunction
