Adwoa Safo Injured in Shooting Incident During Kristo Asafo Succession Ceremony
Former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has sustained a gunshot injury following an incident at the residence of her late father in Kwabenya, where a succession ceremony was reportedly taking place.
According to reports, the incident occurred amid disagreements surrounding the appointment of her brother, Kwadwo Safo Junior, as an elder and successor within the Kristo Asafo Mission, the religious organization founded by their late father, Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka.
Accounts circulating after the incident allege that tensions escalated during the ceremony, leading to a confrontation at the premises. Some reports claim Adwoa Safo allegedly drove her vehicle into the property’s gate and discharged gunshots during the dispute. These claims have not yet been independently verified by authorities.
The Ghana Police Service has confirmed that it is investigating the shooting incident. In a statement, police said the former lawmaker sustained a gunshot injury to her left ear while visiting her late father’s residence on Sunday.
Authorities further disclosed that Adwoa Safo is currently receiving medical treatment, while investigations remain ongoing to establish the circumstances that led to the shooting.
The incident has generated widespread public attention due to the prominence of the individuals involved and the ongoing discussions surrounding leadership and succession within the Kristo Asafo Mission.
As investigations continue, police are expected to gather statements from witnesses and review available evidence to determine the sequence of events and any potential criminal liability.
Neither Adwoa Safo nor representatives of Kwadwo Safo Junior had publicly issued a detailed statement on the matter at the time of publication.
The Ghana Police Service has urged the public to allow investigators to carry out their work and refrain from speculation until the facts surrounding the incident have been fully established.
