He indicated that Adwoa Safo arrived at the venue and tried to force her way through the gates in her vehicle. Nana Kofi Kantanka claimed they heard loud bangs on the gate and found out it was the former MP crashing into the southern gate of the premises.

"We realised that it was Honourable Sarah Adwoa Safo who was in the car. Since she couldn't penetrate the gate with the car, she moved to the northern gate and repeated the same action," he stated.

He said that the private security that was present became concerned since her action could endanger the lives of those present.

"The information I got was that she fired the first shot and then banged the gate with her car. The private security also knew that the lives of people were at risk, so they were giving warning shots."
"As to whether she was wounded, I can't confirm that," he added.
