Ghanaians Question If Adwoa Safo's Injured Hand Was Just "Settings" After Viral Dance Video

• Former MP Sarah Adwoa Safo faced questions over her arm injury after a dance video
• She had worn the arm in a sling since a shooting during her brother's coronation
• The clip showing her raising her arm sparked claims that the injury was a mere pretence

Ghanaians have questioned whether former Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo's arm injury is genuine, after a video showed her dancing energetically with the same arm raised during the second day of her father's funeral rites at Independence Square.

Adwoa Safo has been wearing the sling since sustaining a gunshot wound, reportedly during the coronation of her brother, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena I, weeks before their father's burial.

Despite the injury, she was present at both days of the funeral rites for Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, which went ahead despite a 10-day High Court injunction restraining her from organising the event.

"A colleague of mine used crutches during our final practical exams just to gain sympathy from the examiners, and they genuinely thought she was seriously injured. But here's the funniest part: after finishing her practical, she forgot the crutches and walked away normally. The examiners had to call her back, saying, 'Excuse me madam, you forgot your leg.'"

He claimed a hearse with a coffin was still parked at the Transitions Funeral Home while another vehicle was seen heading to the funeral grounds.
