Former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament Sarah Adwoa Safo is in a stable condition and responding positively to medical treatment following an alleged shooting incident linked to a leadership dispute within the Kristo Asafo Mission.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Kwadwo Safo family on Monday, June 22, 2026, while expressing regret over the incident.
“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 the former legislator attempted to serve court documents on her younger brother, Israel Kwadwo Safo Akofena, in connection with 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 multiple times in her direction and instructed associates at the scene to open fire on her vehicle.
It said the matter had been reported to law enforcement authorities for investigation.
The alleged shooting is the latest development in an escalating dispute 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 appointed head of the family by the late founder and was carrying out responsibilities entrusted to her before his death.
It reiterated that it does not recognise any leadership claim by Israel Safo that contradicts the succession directives it says were left by the late founder.
The family appealed to members of the mission and the public to remain calm and allow the appropriate state institutions to investigate the matter and address the succession dispute.
