A member of the Apostle Kwadwo Safo funeral planning committee, Dr Philip Siaw Kissi, has raised concerns about the handling of the late inventor’s body, saying parts of the family are unaware of its location.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM on Thursday, May 21, 2026, Dr Siaw Kissi, who also serves as Family Secretary and Co-Chairman of the committee, said the situation has created confusion within the family.
He explained that after Apostle Safo’s passing, the family followed tradition and went to Adwoa Safo to formally see the body, but they were unable to access it.
“When someone dies, the family is supposed to go and see the body as per tradition,” he said. “However, right now as I speak, even we, the family, do not know the whereabouts of Apostle Safo’s body. Even when it comes to his children, we know he had seven children, six of them do not know where the father is.”
Dr Siaw Kissi further claimed that Adwoa Safo told the family the body was being kept in a highly secured place that required special clearance.
“Adwoa Safo told the family that where her father’s body was being kept was somewhere special, that even she needed the President’s permission to access the location and see the body,” he stated.
He added that the explanation did not sit well with the family, but they chose to stay calm to avoid public controversy.
“It did not make any sense to us, but because we did not want any scandal, we remained mute,” he said.
