The Ghana Police Service has taken three suspects into custody following a shooting incident involving former Dome-Kwabenya legislator Sarah Adwoa Safo, in a case that has sent shockwaves through the political establishment. The arrests mark a decisive turn in a high-profile investigation gripping the capital.
According to the Ghana Police Service, Israel Kwadwo Safo, widely known as Akofena, voluntarily presented himself at the Regional Police Headquarters and was immediately transferred to the Criminal Investigations Department Headquarters. The Ghana Police Service stated that his cooperation was secured as detectives intensify inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident. He remains a central figure in the unfolding probe.
A forensic sweep of the suspect’s vehicle and Kwabenya residence yielded a cache of ammunition and firearms. According to the Ghana Police Service, operatives retrieved multiple rounds of assorted calibre ammunition, several loaded magazines, and two Glock pistols, with one weapon duly registered to the suspect. The Ghana Police Service emphasized that the arsenal is undergoing ballistic analysis to establish any linkage to the crime scene.
According to the Ghana Police Service, further intelligence-led operations resulted in the apprehension of Nana Kwaku Afriyie and Kwadwo Safo Koomson for their alleged roles in the matter. The Ghana Police Service confirmed that all detainees are assisting with investigations and are scheduled for arraignment before the court. Investigators are exploring possible motives, including political undercurrents and personal disputes.
The incident involving a prominent former Member of Parliament has heightened scrutiny on security protocols for public officials and the proliferation of small arms. According to security analysts at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, the swift police response demonstrates institutional resolve, yet underscores the need for proactive threat assessments. The case now enters a critical judicial phase with national attention fixed on due process.
