Nana Pomaa Nyira, an aunt of former Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo has appealed to the police, the courts, and other relevant authorities to ensure justice is served in the ongoing investigation into the shooting incident involving her niece.
Speaking after the suspects in the case were granted bail, Nana Pomaa Nyira expressed concern about the safety of Adwoa Safo’s relatives and associates, saying the development had heightened fears among family members.
“We are always with her, informing people about the funeral, so if you grant them bail, then our lives are also in danger. We will plead with the authorities to deliver justice,” she said.
She urged the Ghana Police Service to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure that those responsible for the incident are held accountable.
“The police should look into the matter and ensure that justice is served,” she added.
Nana Pomaa Nyira also questioned the circumstances surrounding the incident, citing reports that numerous rounds of ammunition were discharged during the confrontation.
“I have seen that they have been granted bail, but I will insist that justice is served because this matter involved 48 bullets,” she said.
She further defended Adwoa Safo, describing her as a caring sister who played a significant role in the upbringing of her younger brother, Israel Kwadwo Safo, also known as Akofena.
“Adwoa is not a thief. She loves Akofena; I will even say she raised him. Did she deserve what happened?” she asked.
The appeal comes as police continue investigations into the June 21 shooting incident at a property linked to Israel Kwadwo Safo in Kwabenya.
The incident is believed to be connected to an ongoing dispute over the leadership and succession of the Kristo Asafo Mission following the death of its founder, Apostle Professor Kwadwo Safo.
Adwoa Safo has denied allegations that she was armed or discharged a firearm during the incident, insisting that she was at the property as a family member and had no intention of causing a confrontation.
Meanwhile, Israel Kwadwo Safo and other suspects arrested in connection with the case have been granted bail and are expected to continue assisting investigators as legal proceedings continue.
Nana Pomaa Nyira has therefore appealed to the Inspector-General of Police and the judiciary to ensure that truth, fairness, and justice prevail as the matter moves through the courts.
