The former Dome-Kwabenya MP has been embroiled in a bitter dispute with her brother, Nana Kwadw Safo Akofeona I, over control of their father’s funeral arrangements. On July 29, 2026, the Accra High Court granted a 10-day interim injunction, restraining Adwoa Safo from proceeding with the burial while a substantive case regarding the arrangements remained before the court.

However, the injunction did not deter thousands of mourners from gathering at Gomoa Mpota in the Central Region on July 30 for the funeral. Videos and reports circulated on social media, claiming that police had intercepted a hearse carrying the Apostle’s body as it was leaving Transitions Funeral Home.

Adwoa Safo’s spokesperson, Seth Kofi Kissi, denied these claims in an interview on Neat FM the day after the burial. According to Kissi, the body was never kept at Transitions, and Adwoa Safo had personally tasked him with collecting it from its actual location before transporting it to the funeral grounds.

Kissi stated that Adwoa Safo had arranged for a brand-new, previously unused vehicle to transport her father’s remains. The casket was cleverly disguised to resemble building materials, allowing it to be transported without arousing suspicion. In a separate interview with Okay FM, Kissi revealed that the disguise was so convincing that those who unloaded the casket from the vehicle were unaware that they were carrying a body.

The secrecy surrounding the transportation of the body was so thorough that Kissi himself was not aware that he was collecting the late Apostle’s body until he arrived at the location where it was being kept. The confusion over the casket is the latest development in a bitter family dispute over Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka’s funeral.

The dispute began when Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena I, head of the Kantanka family and the Kristo Asafo Mission, accused Adwoa Safo of denying him access to their father’s remains and ignoring parts of the will. Adwoa Safo maintained that the burial arrangements were properly concluded after consultations with the Asantehene and former President John Agyekum Kufuor.

Despite the court granting Akofena’s side a 10-day interim injunction to halt the funeral, Adwoa Safo proceeded with the burial, and the ceremony took place at Gomoa Mpota on July 30. The dispute remains unresolved, with the family’s internal conflict continuing to unfold.

The central issue at hand is no longer merely whether the funeral took place, but rather whether Adwoa Safo’s actions constituted contempt of court. On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, the Accra High Court granted a 10-day interim injunction, effectively restraining Adwoa Safo from proceeding with the funeral arrangements until the court had determined the substantive case before it.

The court was expected to hear the matter within the specified 10-day period before deciding on the next course of action. However, Adwoa Safo went ahead with the funeral rites at Gomoa Mpota on Thursday, July 30, after insisting that the burial would take place regardless of any obstacles.

This development has potentially set the stage for a fresh legal battle. According to Dr. Philip Siaw, the secretary to the Safo family, the family deliberately chose not to disrupt the funeral out of respect for the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo, but would instead seek redress through the courts. Dr. Siaw stated that they would not interrupt the funeral but would return to court, citing that everyone was aware of the injunction in force.

Under Ghanaian law, the alleged breach of a court injunction is considered civil contempt of court. If the party that secured the injunction, in this case, members of the Safo family, believes the order has been violated, they may file contempt proceedings, asking the High Court to determine whether the order was deliberately disobeyed.

Should the court conclude that Adwoa Safo knowingly breached its injunction, it has the authority to impose sanctions under Order 50 of the High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules, 2004 (C.I. 47). One possible consequence is imprisonment, where a judge may commit the contemnor to prison for a fixed term or until the person complies with the court’s order.

The court may also impose substantial financial penalties or fines as punishment for the disobedience. Additionally, the court has the power to order Adwoa Safo’s assets to be temporarily seized until she complies with the directive. Another likely consequence is an order requiring Adwoa Safo to pay punitive legal costs or cover the expenses incurred by the family that initiated the contempt proceedings.

However, legal practitioners caution that contempt is not automatic simply because an injunction exists. Before imposing any sanction, the court must be satisfied that the respondent had knowledge of the injunction and wilfully acted in defiance of it. Adwoa Safo would have the opportunity to respond to the allegations and defend her actions before any punishment, if required, is imposed.

For now, while the first part of the funeral has gone ahead, the legal battle over Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka’s burial appears far from over, with the next chapter likely to unfold in the courtroom.
