The attackers reportedly discharged about 15 rounds of ammunition, with one bullet said to have grazed the former legislator near her neck.
Adwoa Safo was then rushed to a hospital for medical attention and is currently receiving treatment.
According to sources close to her, the former MP is now in a stable condition.
As of the time of filing this report, the Ghana Police Service had not issued an official statement on the shooting.
Investigations are expected to be launched to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident and identify those responsible.
It is expected that the Police would launch an investigation and arrest those responsible for the shooting incident.
Tension surrounding the succession of Apostle Safo Kantanka
Adwoa Safo's attack by gunmen comes amid the increasing tensions within the Kristo Asafo Mission and the founder's family over his succession following his demise.
The succession process has brought several misunderstandings within the church and the family.
Some are against the installation of Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena as the next leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission. While others are in support.
Meanwhile, others believe the Kristo Asafo Mission's constitution should be upheld since the founder and first leader has passed away.
