The Greater Accra Regional Police Command has summoned Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena in connection with a shooting incident at Kwabenya on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
The Director of Public Affairs at the Regional Police Command, Superintendent Juliana Obeng, disclosed this on Nhyira FM’s Kro Yi Mu Nsem morning show on Monday, June 22.
According to her, Mr. Akofena has been invited to report to the Regional Command to assist with investigations.
“The Ghana Police Service has invited Mr. Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena to assist with investigations into a shooting incident,” Supt. Obeng told host Barima Kofi Dawson.
She further revealed that six private security personnel arrested in connection with the incident remain in police custody, with legal processes underway.
A search conducted by the police led to the retrieval of five pump-action guns, one Taurus pistol loaded with seven rounds of 9mm ammunition, an additional magazine loaded with five rounds of 9mm ammunition, and communication equipment.
Supt. Obeng stated that anyone required to assist in the investigations would be summoned, stressing that persons found culpable would face the full rigours of the law.
She also confirmed that former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection and former Dome-Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo, sustained injuries during the incident but is currently in stable condition.
According to her, medical personnel are monitoring Adwoa Safo’s condition, and the Police Service will continue to receive updates on her treatment.
Providing details of the incident, Supt. Obeng said preliminary investigations indicate that police personnel from the National Operations Directorate and the Intelligence Directorate, who were on special duty, responded to a distress call from a residence in Kwabenya.
Upon arrival, officers established that a ceremony was being held at the residence of Mr. Tamakloe Safo Jehoshaphat, also known as Akofena, when Adwoa Safo reportedly arrived and requested access to the premises but was denied entry.
She alleged that armed security personnel at the residence discharged firearms during the confrontation, resulting in injuries to Adwoa Safo. Her vehicle was also found with multiple gunshot marks.
“Based on information made available to the Police Command this morning, the former MP’s condition is reported to be stable,” she added.
Supt. Obeng urged the public to refrain from speculation and the spread of unverified information while investigations continue.
She assured Ghanaians that the Police Service remains committed to conducting a thorough and transparent investigation and will provide verified updates through official channels as new facts emerge.
