Adwoa Safo Stable After Alleged Shooting Incident Linked to Kristo Asafo Leadership Dispute

Former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, is in a stable condition and responding well to medical treatment following an alleged shooting incident connected to an ongoing leadership dispute within the Kristo Asafo Mission.

The update was provided in a statement issued by the Kwadwo Safo family on Monday, June 22, 2026, which expressed regret over the incident and assured the public of her recovery.

“The family wishes to assure members of the Kristo Asafo Mission, relatives, friends, sympathizers, and the public that Hon. Adwoa Safo is currently in a stable condition and responding positively to medical treatment,” the statement said.

According to the family, the incident occurred when Adwoa Safo attempted to serve court documents on her younger brother, Israel Kwadwo Safo Akofena, as part of a dispute over the succession of the late founder of the Kristo Asafo Mission, Apostle Kwadwo Safo.

The family alleged that Israel Safo discharged a firearm several times in her direction and instructed individuals at the scene to fire at her vehicle.

It stated that the matter has been reported to law enforcement authorities and is currently under investigation.

The alleged shooting marks the latest development in an escalating disagreement over the leadership of the Kristo Asafo Mission following the death of Apostle Kwadwo Safo in September 2025.

The family maintained that Adwoa Safo had been designated by the late founder to head the family and was carrying out responsibilities assigned to her before his passing.

It further reiterated that it does not recognise any leadership claim by Israel Safo that is inconsistent with what it describes as the succession directives left by the late founder.

The family appealed to members of the Kristo Asafo Mission and the general public to remain calm and allow the appropriate state institutions to investigate the matter and resolve the succession dispute through lawful means.
