Mrs.  Akurugu signed the book of condolences, honouring Apostle Dr. Safo’s memory and standing in solidarity with the bereaved family.

The Safo family and the Kristo Asafo Church confirmed the death of Apostle Dr. Safo on Thursday, September 11, 2025.

In a message shared on her social media, Mrs. Akurugu expressed her deep sorrow, describing Apostle Dr. Safo as “a man of vision whose works, as a spiritual leader and innovator, have left an indelible mark on Ghana.”
