Dr Emmanuel Boakye made this known during a press briefing held by the family to update the public on developments in the family.
The spokesperson said that after the shooting incident, Adwoa Safo went to the Atomic Police Station, where she was immediately asked to seek medical treatment first.
"When Adwoa got to the Atomic Police Station, the security there could not stand the sight of her bleeding. She was bleeding profusely. Her clothes were soaked with blood. The police asked us to rush her to the hospital. The doctor at the first hospital said he could not attend to her, so we should take her to another facility."
"So we rushed her to the 37 Military Hospital. At this hospital, we all know they should be able to deal with gunshot wounds. On a daily basis, we are always conducting MRIs," he added.
Updating the public on Thursday, June 25, 2026, Dr Emmanuel Boakye added that Adwoa Safo could not sleep the previous night. He said the medical officers have asked them to fly her outside the country for further attention and care.
"Just yesterday, some of the pellets in her cheeks made her face swollen. The whole of yesternight, Adwoa could not sleep. They have to inject her so she can sleep. The situation the girl is going through as we speak now is very bad. The doctors were saying they had done all they could and advised us to fly her abroad for medical attention."
