Dr Emmanuel Boakye, the spokesperson for the Apostle Kwadwo Safo family, has alleged that the former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, was an assassination attempt.
According to Dr Boakye, the alleged attack is connected to a broader internal struggle over the control of the church and its associated businesses following the death of Apostle Kwadwo Safo.
He disclosed that the dispute involves Adwoa Safo and her brother, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, who are associated with competing claims in the succession process.
The Kwadwo Safo family spokesperson revealed that the attack was premeditated, with individuals allegedly mobilised and deployed in advance to Adwoa Safo.
Speaking on the Channel One Newsroom on Monday, June 22, the family spokesperson stated, “I’m not a lawyer, but I can tell you, it was an attempt to kill an individual, attempted killing. Personally, the family was shocked, the siblings, everybody was so shocked. How can you, in your right mind, without any medication, point a gun at your own sister, whatever crime that he has committed? No way”.
“Some of them are employees of KPS. And the other guys, about 20 of them, they came there just that same day at dawn. They came there that dawn for an operation. The operation was to eliminate Adwoa Safo.”
