The family of the late Apostle Prof. Dr. Emeritus Kwadwo Safo Kantanka has refuted reports circulating on social media claiming that his funeral has been scheduled, stating that no official date has been set for his burial and final funeral rites.
The clarification was contained in a statement released after the reading of the renowned inventor’s will, as the family sought to address growing misinformation surrounding the funeral arrangements.
According to the statement, discussions and consultations are still ongoing, and the family will announce the official funeral date and programme only after all necessary processes have been concluded.
The family further distanced itself from invitation cards, posters, flyers and social media posts currently circulating online, including those indicating July 30, July 31 and August 28, 2026, as funeral dates.
It emphasised that none of the materials in circulation has been approved, authorised or issued by the family.
“The Family has announced no official date for the burial and final funeral rites. The Family will communicate the approved funeral date and programme only after the necessary consultations have been concluded,” the statement said.
The statement explained that the family is committed to ensuring that the funeral arrangements are conducted in line with the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo’s wishes, the family’s customs, and all relevant customary and administrative protocols.
Until an official announcement is made, the family has urged the public and the media to disregard all unverified reports and rely solely on information released by authorised family representatives.
