The Ghana Police Service has arrested six private security guards in connection with the shooting incident involving former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, which occurred on June 21, 2026, at Kwabenya in the Greater Accra Region.
According to a statement issued by the Accra Regional Public Affairs Unit and signed by Head of Public Affairs, Ms. Juliana Obeng (Supt.), the arrests followed preliminary investigations into the incident, which has generated public concern after photos of the former legislator and her vehicle with apparent gunshot damage circulated on social media.
The police said a subsequent search led to the retrieval of five pump-action guns, one Taurus pistol loaded with seven rounds of 9mm ammunition, an additional magazine containing five rounds of 9mm ammunition, and communication equipment.

Preliminary findings indicate that personnel from the National Operations Directorate and the Intelligence Directorate, who were on special duty, responded to a distress call from a residence at Kwabenya and proceeded to the scene. Upon arrival, they established that a ceremony was underway at the residence of Mr. Tamakloe Safo Jehoshaphat, also known as Akofena, when Adwoa Safo allegedly arrived and requested entry but was denied access.
The statement further indicated that armed security personnel at the residence allegedly discharged firearms during the incident, resulting in gunshot injuries to the former MP. Her vehicle was also reportedly found with multiple gunshot marks.
The suspects, along with the retrieved exhibits, have since been transferred to the Police Headquarters to assist with ongoing investigations. The police added that efforts are underway to identify and arrest other individuals connected to the incident.
This latest development adds to earlier statements issued by both the police and the Kristo Asafo Mission regarding the incident.
