Lawyer for former Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo, Kwame Boafo Akuffo, has rejected claims that the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo’s will automatically makes Israel Kwadwo Safo Akofena the leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission.
According to him, the section of the will being referenced only names Kwadwo Safo Akofena as the head of the Safo family and does not appoint him as the successor to lead the church.
Speaking at a press conference on behalf of Sarah Adwoa Safo, Boafo Akuffo argued that Kwadwo Safo Jnr.’s installation as leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission was unlawful, insisting that the late Apostle’s will does not identify any individual as the next head of the religious organisation.
“There is no part of the will which inherited any individual as the next leader of the church,” he said.
He explained that Clause 27 of the will only refers to a male biological child being an heir or being eligible to ascend to a leadership position, but does not name any specific person as the church’s leader.
“Those who have read the will, especially Clause 27, will have noticed that it speaks of the male biological child being an heir or being capable to ascend to the leadership position. No one is mentioned in that will as the leader of the church,” he stated.
Boafo Akuffo said attempts to interpret the will as granting leadership of the Kristo Asafo Mission to Kwadwo Safo Akofena were misleading and inaccurate.
