The Ghana Police Service has arrested six private security guards in connection with a shooting incident involving former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, at Kwabenya in the Greater Accra Region.
According to a police statement issued on Sunday, June 21, 2026, the incident occurred during a ceremony at the residence of Tamakloe Safo Jehoshaphat, popularly known as Akofena.
Preliminary investigations indicate that personnel from the National Operations Directorate and the Intelligence Directorate, who were on a special assignment, responded to a distress call from the residence.
Police investigations revealed that Hon. Adwoa Safo reportedly arrived at the residence and requested access to the premises but was denied entry.
Authorities further disclosed that armed security personnel stationed at the residence allegedly opened fire during the incident, resulting in injuries to the former lawmaker. Her vehicle was also found with multiple gunshot marks.
A subsequent search conducted by the police led to the retrieval of five pump-action guns, a Taurus pistol loaded with seven rounds of 9mm ammunition, an additional magazine containing five rounds of 9mm ammunition, and communication equipment.
The suspects, together with the retrieved exhibits, have been transferred to the Police Headquarters to assist ongoing investigations.
The Ghana Police Service says efforts are underway to identify and arrest all other persons connected to the incident.
