The shooting is reported to have occurred during the installation ceremony of Kwadwo Safo as leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission, an event that has since been linked to tensions over leadership within the religious organisation.
According to security and investigative reports presented in court, a search conducted at a residence and vehicle in Kwabenya led to the discovery of multiple rounds of ammunition, including 9mm, .45 calibre and .40 calibre rounds, as well as loaded magazines and two Glock pistols. One of the firearms is said to be registered in the name of Israel Safo.
