Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena I Assumes Leadership of Kristo Asafo Mission Amidst Public Allegations by Osebo

Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena I, the son of the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, has officially assumed the leadership of the Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana. In his inaugural address as the new head of the mission, Akofena I emphasized the critical need for unity and collective strength among the church's members. His plea for solidarity comes at a time when the organization is navigating the transition following the death of its founder, a figure central to the mission's spiritual and industrial identity in Ghana.

However, this transition into leadership has been complicated by a series of high-profile allegations from Osebo the Zaraman, a prominent Ghanaian fashion icon. In a video shared on TikTok on June 21, 2026, Osebo accused the new leader of causing significant distress to his late father, Dr. Apostle Kwadwo Safo, during his final days. The fashion personality claimed that Akofena I's actions contributed to the late apostle's troubles, suggesting a deep-seated friction within the family that was previously kept from the public eye.

Beyond the allegations of past familial discord, Osebo also raised concerns regarding the safety of former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, who is Akofena I’s elder sister. The allegations include claims of threats directed at the former MP in the aftermath of a recent shooting incident. These serious accusations have added a layer of legal and personal controversy to the leadership succession, casting a shadow over the unified front the Kristo Asafo Mission is attempting to project.

As Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena I begins his tenure, the focus remains on whether he can reconcile these internal family disputes with his public mission for church harmony. The Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana is not only a religious body but also a significant contributor to local innovation and industry. Consequently, the resolution of these personal and leadership tensions is seen as vital for the continued stability and growth of the organization founded by the late Dr. Apostle Kwadwo Safo.
