Former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has denied allegations that she was armed or discharged a firearm during a shooting incident at a property linked to her family in Kwabenya on June 21, 2026.
In comments shared during a private interaction with journalists while she received treatment after the incident, she strongly rejected claims that she fired a weapon.
“I don’t own a gun, I didn’t shoot a gun and I will never shoot a gun,” she stated, dismissing circulating reports linking her to the alleged shooting.
The incident reportedly occurred at the residence of her younger brother, Israel Kwadwo Safo, also known as Akofena, amid a growing dispute connected to leadership tensions within the Kristo Asafo Mission following the death of its founder, Apostle Professor Kwadwo Safo.
Safo further insisted she visited the property solely as a family member and not with any intention of confrontation. She denied arriving with a security escort and maintained that her visit was private in nature.
She also challenged claims that she drove into the property’s gate, saying reports suggesting vehicle impact damage unrelated to gunfire were inaccurate.
Her remarks come amid conflicting accounts of the incident. The Kristo Asafo Mission has rejected suggestions that she was shot, instead alleging that she drove into the gate after a church-related event, causing damage and endangering people present at the scene.
According to the Mission, security personnel intervened to prevent further escalation, and it has urged the public to rely on verified information as investigations continue.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of Israel Safo and two others to assist with investigations. Police say a search uncovered firearms, ammunition, and loaded magazines, and the suspects have been charged with offences including possession and use of offensive weapons and causing unlawful damage.
All accused persons have since been granted bail by the court as investigations continue into the incident and the broader leadership dispute within the Kristo Asafo Mission.
