Six arrested over Kwabenya shooting incident involving Adwoa Safo
The Ghana Police Service has arrested six private security guards in connection with the shooting incident involving former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, at Kwabenya on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
According to a police statement issued by the Accra Regional Public Affairs Unit, the arrests followed investigations into the incident, which reportedly occurred at a private residence in Kwabenya.
Police said a subsequent search operation 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 other communication equipment.
Preliminary investigations indicate that officers from the National Operations Directorate and the Intelligence Directorate, who were on special duty, responded to a distress call from a residence in the area and proceeded to the scene.
Upon arrival, officers established that a ceremony was being held at the residence of Mr. Tamakloe Safo Jehoshaphat, also known as Akofena. Investigators said Hon. Adwoa Safo reportedly arrived at the premises and requested access but was denied entry.
Police further revealed that armed security personnel at the residence allegedly discharged firearms during the incident, resulting in injuries to Adwoa Safo. Her vehicle was also found to have sustained multiple gunshot marks.
The six suspects, together with the retrieved exhibits, have since been transferred to the Police Headquarters to assist with ongoing investigations.
The Police Service said efforts are underway to identify and arrest all other persons connected to the incident.
Investigations remain ongoing.
