Sarah Adwoa Safo, the former Dome-Kwabenya MP, has once again opened up about the shooting incident at her late father’s residence.
Adwoa Safo shared a harrowing account of how she narrowly escaped death by being saved by God.
Speaking about the incident in an interview with Okay FM on July 28, 2026, Adwoa Safo narrated, “So I was curious and decided to go and investigate. I was not armed. I didn’t go with anybody. No driver, no bodyguard. I wore a simple t-shirt, shorts and ‘chale wote’ with a cap because I didn’t wear a wig. It was a Sunday, so I felt that everyone would be relaxed”
“I heard, ‘Fire! Finish am!’ and they started shooting. They shot 48 bullets into my car. They wanted to kill me. God saved me,” she claimed.
“What saved me was that they thought I was in the back seat. If I had gone with a driver and was sitting behind, I would have been dead,” she added.
“I have never owned or held a gun in my life. I don’t even know where to acquire one,” she said.
“If I was a violent person, you would have heard me shooting or brandishing a gun during elections. But there has never been any such incident. Why would I then take a gun to someone’s house?” she retorted.
In related news, Sarah Adwoa Safo has firmly stated that the funeral of her late father, Apostle Kwadwo Safo, will take place on July 30 as previously announced, urging the public to disregard any reports suggesting otherwise.
Adwoa Safo dismissed claims that the burial arrangements for the late Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka have not been finalised.
According to Adwoa Safo, the funeral and burial will come on live and coloured as scheduled on July 30 and 31, adding that those who do not understand can go and burn the sea.
She noted that her father’s remarkable contributions deserve a befitting farewell and assured that she will do everything within her means to ensure his final rites are honoured without any interference or misinformation disrupting the arrangements.
Speaking on OKAY FM, Adwoa Safo stated, “We have written to all the security agencies that we are burying our father; a lot of people have called me, Adwoa, we have gotten the invitation. Is it coming on? And I have confirmed it to all people in authority: the Speaker of Parliament, the flagbearer of the NPP, the Chief of Staff, the former Chief of Staff, and the former leader of parliament. What should I do?”.
Also, Adwoa Safo, speaking on Accra-based, maintained that the funeral committee had already concluded arrangements after consultations with key stakeholders, including the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and former President John Agyekum Kufuor.
“On the 30th of July, we will go to Gomoa Mpota to bury my late father. On the 31st of July, we will be at Independence Square to hold the funeral service. Then, on the 8th of August, we will travel to Asante Mampong in Kumasi for the thanksgiving service. So everyone should disregard the rumours that the funeral will not take place or that it has been cancelled,” she said.
However, the Head of the Kantanka Family and Leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, has revealed that he has ordered his lawyers to initiate legal actions to facilitate the burial and final funeral rites of the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo.
According to Akofena, the decision comes after unsuccessful efforts to reach a consensus within the family on arrangements for the burial.
He explained that the family are still divided over aspects of the funeral arrangements.
Akofena disclosed that some provisions contained in the late Apostle’s will, particularly those relating to the custody of his remains, have not been respected.
Addressing the media at a press conference, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena I stated, “It pains me deeply to discuss matters relating to my family and the Church in the public domain; however, circumstances beyond my control have compelled me to speak publicly to protect the truth, preserve the dignity of our late father, and provide clarity to the many people who continue to seek guidance on these matters”.
“Unfortunately, despite these numerous interventions and goodwill efforts, the desired reconciliation has not been achieved,” he said, describing the outcome as “deeply disappointing.”
“Our family has instructed our solicitors to commence the necessary legal proceedings to ensure that the wishes expressed in our late father’s will and testament are given full legal effect,” he said.
