The Ghana Police Service has broken its silence following the former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, who sustained a gunshot injury following a shooting incident at Kwabenya.
In a statement issued by the Ghana Police Service, the Madina Divisional Command revealed it has launched investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
According to the police, Preliminary investigations indicate that the former legislator suffered a gunshot wound to her left ear while visiting her late father’s residence in Kwabenya.
In a statement issued by the Police read, “The Madina Divisional Command is investigating a shooting incident involving Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo at Kwabenya in the Accra Region.
Preliminary investigations indicate that on Sunday, 21st June 2026, Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo sustained a gunshot injury to her left ear while visiting his late father’s residence at Kwabenya. She subsequently reported the incident to the Kwabenya Police and presented a vehicle bearing registration number GN 3482-24, which had visible gunshot damage.
The victim has been issued with a Police Medical Report Form and is receiving medical attention. The vehicle has been retained for forensic examination, while investigations continue to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and identify all persons involved”.
Meanwhile, Nana Kofi Kantanka, the Lawyer for the Kristo Asafo Church, has claimed that the former Dome Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo, fired the first shot.
According to the Lawyer, Sarah Adwoa Safo fired the first shot during an incident that disrupted the introduction of the church’s newly appointed leader.
He disclosed that when Adwoa Safo arrived at the venue, she attempted to force her way through the gates with her vehicle.
He added that a loud bang was heard, which they later discovered to be the sound of a vehicle crashing into the southern gate.
Speaking on JoyNews on Sunday, June 21, Nana Kofi Kantanka explained, “We realised that it was Honorable Sarah Adwoa Safo who was in the car. Since she couldn’t penetrate the gate through with the car, she moved to the northern gate and repeated the same action”.
“The information I got was that she fired the first shot and then banged the gate with her car. The private security also knew that the lives of people were at risk, so they were giving warning shots,” he said.
“As to whether she was wounded, I can’t confirm that,” he added.
“No one prevented her from entering. If she had parked and indicated she wanted to enter, that would have been all,” he said.
“We [Church] will also conduct our private investigation, and anybody who has perpetrated any wrongdoing will be prosecuted,” Nana Kofi Kantanka stated.
His comments follow 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.
