Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka’s Will Revealed as GBC’s Maltiti Sayida Sadick Receives International Recognition

In a week marked by significant revelations and international accolades, the details of the last will and testament of the late Ghanaian statesman and innovator, Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, have emerged, alongside the prestigious nomination of Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) journalist Maltiti Sayida Sadick for a German government program. The leaked excerpts of Apostle Kantanka’s will, which circulated following a broadcast on Okay FM, have captured public attention due to the unexpected scale of bequests made to his domestic staff. Simultaneously, the International Panel of Parliamentarians for Freedom of Religion or Belief (IPPFoRB) has commended Ms. Sadick for her selection to participate in Germany’s Visitor’s Programme on Religion and Integration, signaling a high point for Ghanaian media on the global stage.

The details regarding Apostle Safo Kantanka’s estate, shared on air by journalist Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, reveal a philanthropic legacy that extends deeply into his private household. The late founder of the Kristo Asafo Mission and the Kantanka Group allegedly allocated nearly half of his properties, including substantial cash reserves found at his residence, various bank accounts, and shares in his companies, to his longtime house helps and maids. Beyond the financial distribution, the circulating reports also highlight the appointment of executors and specific arrangements for his final rites, providing a rare glimpse into the private planning of one of Ghana’s most prolific industrial and religious figures.

While the Kantanka family’s legacy is discussed at home, Maltiti Sayida Sadick’s professional trajectory is being celebrated abroad. Her nomination by the German government to join the Visitor’s Programme is a recognition of her commitment to informed public discourse and her advocacy for women’s empowerment and development communication. The IPPFoRB Caucus expressed strong confidence in her ability to represent Ghana, noting that the program is designed to foster international dialogue on social cohesion and religious freedom. This commendation underscores the vital role of responsible journalism in bridging cultural and religious divides, further cementing Sadick’s reputation as a leading voice in the Ghanaian media landscape.

The broader media and religious sectors are also seeing notable developments, with the West African Journalists for Environment, Science, Health and Agriculture (WAJESHA) launching a new digital platform to enhance specialized reporting across the sub-region. The website, wajesha.org, aims to empower nearly 200 journalists with the technical knowledge required to tackle complex issues like climate change and food insecurity. In the religious sphere, Nana Agradaa, leader of Heaven Way International Ministry, has publicly appealed for peace between Prophet Ebenezer Adarkwa Yiadom (Opambour) and Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah. These collective events reflect a dynamic period in Ghana, where professional excellence, institutional growth, and calls for social harmony continue to shape the national narrative.
