An aunt of former Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo, Nana Pomaa Nyira, has appealed to the police, the courts, and other relevant authorities to ensure justice is served in the ongoing investigation into a shooting incident involving her niece.
Her appeal comes after suspects arrested in connection with the case were granted bail.
Speaking to the media, Nana Pomaa Nyira expressed concern about the safety of family members and associates of Adwoa Safo, saying the release of the suspects has heightened fear among relatives.
“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 called on the Ghana Police Service to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
“The police should look into the matter and ensure that justice is served,” she added.
Nana Pomaa Nyira also questioned the circumstances surrounding the incident, citing reports that several rounds of ammunition were discharged 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 stated.
She further described Adwoa Safo as a caring sister who played a significant role in the upbringing of her younger brother, Israel Kwadwo Safo, popularly 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 incident occurred on June 21 at a property linked to Israel Kwadwo Safo in Kwabenya and is believed to be connected to an ongoing dispute over the 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 discharged a firearm during the incident, maintaining that she was at the property as a family member and had no intention of causing a confrontation.
Meanwhile, Israel Kwadwo Safo and other suspects arrested in connection with the incident have been granted bail and are expected to continue assisting police with investigations.
Nana Pomaa Nyira has therefore appealed to the Inspector-General of Police and the judiciary to ensure that truth, fairness, and justice prevail as the case proceeds through the legal process.
