Sarah Adwoa Safo, the former Dome-Kwabenya MP, 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.
Court document suggest two senior members of the Kristo Asafo Mission have dragged the church and some of its key leaders to the High Court in a bid to stop the installation of Apostle Kwadwo Safo’s son, Israel Kwadwo Safo (Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena), as the next leader of the movement.
According to Court documents, Kweku Agyenim Boateng, a former Deputy General Secretary of Kristo Asafo Mission, and Seth Appiah Richard Brown have filed a writ challenging the legitimacy of the succession process following the death of the church’s founder, Apostle Emeritus Dr Ing. Kwadwo Safo, in September 2025.
The lawsuit, filed at the High Court in Accra, names Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana, Israel Kwadwo Safo (also known as Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena), Festus Owusu Badu, Dr Kwadwo Addo Oduro and Robert Ntiful as defendants.
The plaintiffs contend that while Israel Kwadwo Safo had at one point been designated as a successor by the founder, amendments made to the church’s constitution in 2024 altered the line of succession and rendered him ineligible to assume the leadership.
