Reports coming in suggest six bodyguards of Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, a younger brother of former Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo, have reportedly been arrested.
Sources claimed the Police picked up the bodyguards on Sunday after the alleged shooting.
Citi News quoted the source saying, “I don’t really remember the time, but it was around nine thereabouts. Some of the bodyguards from his brother’s house, from Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena’s house, have been arrested. The police just took them away. At the moment, we haven’t heard anything further and are waiting for the police to come up with something”.
According to the source, Adwoa Safo was shot in front of her brother’s residence but indicated that her injuries were not life-threatening.
The source disclosed that the former MP was in a vehicle when the gunshots were fired.
“She is very okay. She is at the hospital. The injury is not too serious, but an injury is an injury. She was in the car when she was shot,” the source stated.
“Some of the pellets caused injuries under her neck and on her chest. There was blood on her face because she had been shot and was bleeding before she was rushed to the hospital,” the source added.
The development follows reports that Sarah Adwoa Safo is receiving medical treatment following an alleged shooting incident at the residence of her younger brother, Israel Kwadwo Safo.
Reports suggest the incident occurred at the residence of her younger brother, Israel Kwadwo Safo, on Sunday, where he was organising supporters in connection with efforts to install him as the successor to his late father.
The information gathered from witnesses alleged that Adwoa Safo was present in the area when armed men opened fire on her vehicle.
It has been alleged that the gunmen reportedly discharged about 15 rounds of ammunition, with one bullet said to have grazed the former legislator near her neck.
Adwoa Safo was subsequently rushed for medical attention and is currently receiving treatment.
Reports suggest police from the Dome District Command were alerted and quickly deployed to the scene to provide security as tensions escalated.
Sources close to Adwoa Safo indicate that she is in stable condition.
The shooting comes at a time when there are growing tensions within the Kristo Asafo family over the succession of the late Apostle Emeritus Kwadwo Safo.
Some family members are already challenging attempts to install Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena as the next leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission.
Meanwhile, reports suggest an attempt by some elders of the Kristo Asafo Mission to install Israel Kwadwo Safo, popularly known as Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, as successor to the late Apostle Emeritus Dr Ing. Kwadwo Safo has been halted by a High Court injunction.
