An aunt of former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament (MP), Sarah Adwoa Safo, has appealed to the police and courts to ensure justice in the ongoing probe into the June 21, 2026 shooting at a Kwabenya property linked to her nephew.
Speaking after suspects in the case were granted bail, Nana Pomaa Nyira said the decision had raised fears for the safety of Adwoa Safo’s relatives and associates.
“We are always with her, informing people about the funeral, so if you grant them bail, then our lives are also in danger. We will plead with the authorities to deliver justice,” she said.
She urged the Ghana Police Service to conduct a thorough investigation and hold those responsible to account. “The police should look into the matter and ensure that justice is served,” Nana Pomaa Nyira added.
She questioned the circumstances of the incident, citing reports that 48 rounds of ammunition were fired during the confrontation. “I have seen that they have been granted bail, but I will insist that justice is served because this matter involved 48 bullets,” she said.
Defending her niece, she described Adwoa Safo as a caring sister who helped raise her younger brother, Israel Kwadwo Safo, also known as Akofena. “Adwoa is not a thief. She loves Akofena; I will even say she raised him. Did she deserve what happened?” she asked.
The shooting occurred at a property linked to Israel Kwadwo Safo in Kwabenya and is believed to be tied to a dispute over leadership and succession of the Kristo Asafo Mission following the death of its founder, Apostle Professor Kwadwo Safo.
Adwoa Safo has denied allegations that she was armed or fired a weapon during the incident. She maintains she was at the property as a family member and did not intend to cause a confrontation.
Israel Kwadwo Safo and other suspects arrested in connection with the case have been granted bail of GH¢4.5 million and are expected to continue assisting investigators as legal proceedings continue.
Nana Pomaa Nyira appealed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the judiciary to ensure “truth, fairness, and justice prevail” as the matter moves through the courts.
