The alleged shooting is the latest development in a deepening dispute over leadership of the Kristo Asafo Mission following the death of its founder, Apostle Kwadwo Safo.

The transition has become the subject of both legal and family conflicts, with some relatives reportedly opposing plans to install Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena as the organisation's next leader.

The succession process suffered a further setback after a court injunction reportedly halted plans for Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena's installation, intensifying disagreements among those with a stake in the outcome.
