The Ghana Police Service has arrested Israel Kwadwo Safo, popularly known as Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, in connection with the shooting incident involving former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo.
According to a police statement, Akofena voluntarily reported himself to the Regional Police Headquarters on June 22, 2026, and was subsequently handed over to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters to assist with ongoing investigations.
Police say a search conducted on his vehicle and at his residence at Kwabenya led to the retrieval of a substantial cache of ammunition and firearms, including 120 rounds of 9mm ammunition, 50 rounds of .45 calibre ammunition, 25 rounds of .40 calibre ammunition, several loaded magazines, and two Glock pistols, one of which is registered in his name.
Further investigations led to the arrest of two additional suspects, identified as Nana Kwaku Afriyie and Kwadwo Safo Koomson, who are also alleged to have links to the incident.
The arrests form part of ongoing investigations into the shooting incident that occurred on June 21, 2026, during a ceremony at a residence in Kwabenya, where Sarah Adwoa Safo sustained a gunshot injury to her left ear. Her vehicle was also found with multiple gunshot marks.
All three suspects are currently in police custody assisting investigators and are expected to be arraigned before court on June 23, 2026.
The Ghana Police Service says investigations are continuing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident and to identify any other persons who may have been involved.
