The Ghana Police Service says six private security guards have been arrested in connection with the shooting incident involving Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo, which occurred at Kwabenya on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
In a press release issued as Update 1 on the case, the Police disclosed that a search conducted on the suspects led to the retrieval of five pump-action guns, a Taurus pistol loaded with seven rounds of 9mm ammunition, an additional magazine loaded with five rounds of 9mm ammunition, and communication equipment.
According to the release, preliminary investigations indicate that police personnel from the National Operations Directorate and the Intelligence Directorate, who were on special duty, received a distress call from a residence at Kwabenya and proceeded to the scene.
Upon arrival, officers established that a ceremony was being held at the residence of Mr. Tamakloe Safo Jehoshaphat, alias Akofena, when Hon. Adwoa Safo reportedly arrived and requested access to the premises but was denied entry.
The Police said investigations further revealed that armed security personnel at the residence allegedly discharged firearms during the incident, resulting in injury to Hon. Adwoa Safo. Her vehicle was also found with multiple gunshot marks.
The six suspects and the exhibits retrieved have since been transferred to Police Headquarters to assist ongoing investigations. The Police noted that investigations are continuing to locate and arrest all other persons connected to the incident
