Madam Sarah Adwoa Safo, a former Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome-Kwabenya, is reportedly undergoing medical attention after gunmen allegedly opened fire on her car close to the home of her younger brother, Israel Kwadwo Safo, also known as Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena.
The incident is believed to have happened on Sunday at Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena’s residence, where he was allegedly rallying supporters in support of attempts to install him as Apostle Emeritus Kwadwo Safo’s successor.
As emotions increased, officers from the Dome District Command were reportedly notified and promptly sent to the location to offer protection.
When armed men allegedly opened fire on Madam Adwoa Safo’s car on Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena’s orders, witnesses said she was nearby.
About 15 rounds of gunfire were allegedly fired by the attackers, and one of the bullets is supposed to have touched the former lawmaker’s neck.
Following that, the former MP was taken to the hospital and is presently undergoing treatment.
She was in stable condition, according to people close to her.
The incident occurs in the midst of escalating conflicts within the Kristo Asafo family around the late Apostle Emeritus Kwadwo Safo’s succession.
Legal disagreements have already arisen over the succession process, with certain family members contesting attempts to choose Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena as the Kristo Asafo Mission’s next leader.
The Ghana Police Service had not released an official comment regarding the incident at the time this article was filed.
It is anticipated that investigations will be started in order to determine the incident’s circumstances and pinpoint the perpetrators.
