Lawyer and former Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo has said she remains committed to giving her late father, Apostle Professor Emeritus Kwadwo Safo, a befitting burial in fulfilment of his final wish despite the ongoing family disagreements surrounding his funeral.
Speaking on Angel FM’s ‘Anɔpa Bɔfoɔ’ on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, she stated that nothing would stop the family from burying her father as scheduled on July 30 at Gomoa Mpota.
“It is not the behaviour my brother is putting up that will make me not give my dad a befitting burial,” she stated.
She noted that before his death, her father repeatedly emphasised that his life’s mission was to serve the people of his church, adding that he had every right to decide how his property should be distributed through his will.
“My dad always said, ‘I didn’t come to this earth for you; I came for the people of my church.’ So if I make a will and give my property to outsiders, I have the right.”
Adwoa Safo stated that all the funeral arrangements had been communicated to the Asantehene because of her father’s royal lineage and dismissed claims that the funeral would not take place.
“On July 30, we will be going to Gomoa Mpota to bury my dad. So to anyone saying the funeral won’t hold, it will,” Ms. Safo asserted.
She further noted that she personally financed the 40-day observance held in honour of her late father, stressing that she remained determined to ensure he received the dignified farewell he deserved.
Responding to claims by her brother regarding their father’s remains, Adwoa Safo said she did not take custody of the body unlawfully, explaining that she was with her father during his final moments because he had specifically requested to see her.
“Ask him why I was with our dad during his last breath and why our dad called to see me before he died. I didn’t steal the body,” she said.
The former legislator reiterated that her focus remains on honouring her late father’s final wish by ensuring he is given a befitting burial, despite the ongoing family dispute.
