She was subsequently rushed to a medical facility for treatment, and sources close to her indicate she is in stable condition and responding well to care.

Police officers from the Dome District Command responded after being alerted to escalating tensions at the venue. Security personnel were reportedly deployed to maintain order and prevent further disturbances following the incident.

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.

No official statement had been issued by the police or the Kristo Asafo Mission at the time of publishing, and investigations into the shooting are expected to be ongoing.
