Former Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo has reportedly been shot by one of her brothers following a dispute over their late father’s funeral and succession arrangements.
The incident is said to have occurred on Sunday at Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena’s residence, where supporters had reportedly gathered in connection with efforts to install him as the successor to his late father, Apostle Emeritus Kwadwo Safo, founder of the Kristo Asafo Mission.
According to reports, tensions at the venue escalated, prompting police officers from the Dome District Command to respond after being alerted to the situation. Security personnel were reportedly deployed to maintain order and prevent further disturbances.
Witnesses claim that Adwoa Safo was present at the location when armed men allegedly opened fire on her vehicle. The attackers are said to have discharged approximately 15 rounds of ammunition during the incident. One of the bullets reportedly grazed the former legislator near her neck.
She was subsequently rushed to a medical facility for treatment. Sources close to the former MP indicate that she is in a stable condition and responding well to medical care.
The Kantanka family has been embroiled in a feud over the funeral arrangements as well as the succession plan for their legendary father, Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka who died earlier this year.
A court injunction reportedly halted the installation of Israel Kwadwo Safo as the leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission.
