Boakye told Akoma FM that she had already undergone two surgeries.
He also said the treatment abroad would be just as critical to the former MP’s wellbeing.
Boakye did not disclose the specific country to which Adwoa Safo may be transferred, but indicated that arrangements for overseas treatment are actively being considered to ensure her full recovery and to prevent further complications from the facial injuries she sustained.
"Adwoa has undergone two surgeries and is expected to be flown abroad for further treatment to prevent further damage to her face.”
Safo, who previously served as Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection under former President Nana Akufo-Addo, became a prominent political figure in Ghana, though her tenure was marked by controversy, including an extended absence from Parliament during a critical period in 2022.
Adwoa Safo case remains under investigation
The incident has remained a major topic of discussion across the country following reports that Adwoa Safo was later taken to the hospital for medical attention.
Police subsequently launched investigations into the matter, leading to the arrest of several individuals connected to the case.
In a statement, the family alleged that Adwoa Safo was at the property to serve a court injunction during an installation event involving Israel Safo when the shooting occurred.
The incident is connected to an ongoing succession dispute within the Kristo Asafo Mission, a religious organisation whose founder, Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, died in September 2025.
His death triggered competing claims over the leadership of the church and its associated institutions, with legal processes already underway.
In the aftermath of the incident, the Ghana Police Service arrested six private security guards and retrieved a cache of weapons. On Monday, June 22, the Ghana Police Service confirmed Akofena’s arrest for his alleged involvement in the incident.
In the latest development, Akofena and the other accused persons appeared before the Adenta Circuit Court, where a major decision was made regarding the case as investigations continue.
Adwoa Safo breaks silence on shooting incident
Previously, YEN.com.gh reported that Adwoa Safo denied allegations that she was armed or discharged a firearm during a shooting incident at her brother’s residence.
The former MP stated that she went to the property alone and without any security, saying she treated the matter as a private family issue.
Authorities are continuing investigations into the circumstances surrounding the shooting incident, while public interest in the case remains high.
