Lawyer Festus Owusu Badu has been sworn in as acting Chairman of the General Council of the Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana.
He has been tasked with carrying forward the legacy of the Church’s late founder, Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka.
In a viral video, Lawyer Festus Owusu Badu was clothed in a beautiful kente as he was sworn in as the chairman.
His swearing in was greeted with loud cheers from the Kristo Asafo Mission congregants.
The late Apostle Kwadwo Safo’s death was announced on Sunday, 14, 2025.
The news was announced in a statement by Sarah Adwoa Safo (former MP for Dome Kwabenya).
According to the statement, Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo passed away peacefully on Thursday, 11th September 2025.
In related news, A former member of the Kristo Asafo Church has called on Church members to wake up, as the late Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo was not God.
According to the lady, she was once a member of this church and deeply involved in this idolatry.
She revealed they prayed through him instead of through Jesus.
The former member of the Kristo Asafo Church urged members to repent as the Kingdom of God is at hand, adding that Jesus alone is the way, the truth, and the life.
Speaking in a viral video following the death of Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo the lady stated, “I deeply empathise with you over the passing of Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo, but you must wake. Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo was not God. The reason why I am so passionate about speaking about this today, idolatry, I was part of this church, I worshipped him.
In fact, I remember that, growing up, when I was sick in any part of my body, we were taught to take a picture of Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo, fetch a glass of water, put this picture on the glass of water and pray to Apostle Kwadwo Safo to heal us, we believed he was a god, we believe he was the survivor”.
She further added, “Today, on his passing, I am led to make this video to encourage you to find a church; you need Jesus Christ; he is the only one true God. Jesus died, but on the third day he rose again, and Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo has died now, and he will not resurrect.
I have seen some videos about reincarnation. People are saying he would reincarnate. I am sorry, it is nonsense.
Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo is dead. He was human, he was flesh just like you and I, he was not a God. The fact that he had some wisdom to be able to make some technological inventions did not mean he was God”.
She further added that there are so many branches of the Kristo Asafo Church all over the world, and her heart bleeds, “For the thousands of people going to hell because they believe the lie that Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo was God, please wake up. I am pleading with you, give your life to Christ and repent from this idolatry”.
