The spokesperson for the Apostle Kwadwo Safo family, Dr Emmanuel Boakye, explained why the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, went to the home of his brother on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
According to Dr Emmanuel Boakye, the former MP was only going there to prevent her brother from finding himself on the wrong side of the law.

Before the day of the shooting incident, some members of the Kristo Asafo Mission had placed a court injunction on the installation of a leader for the church until the case is determined in court.
According to Dr Emmanuel Boakye, when Adwoa Safo heard his brother was going ahead with the event, she called her siblings to join her at her brother's house so they could speak to him.
"Their father's church has a constitution. Some of the siblings were not happy with how the church elders interpreted the constitution and took it to court. For over three days, they could not find any of those in charge to be served, including Kwadwo Akofena Safo. So when they heard the installation would be done at Awoshie, police officers went there to prevent such from happening."
"Interestingly, the people were bent on doing it and organised it at Kwadwo Safo Akofena's house. So, when Adwoa Safo heard about it, she called her other siblings who live in different places in Accra to drive to Kwadwo Safo Akofena's house. Adwoa Safo was only going to speak to his brother about the implications of flouting the summons," he added.
The family spokesperson said that the action of the security at Nana Kwadwo Akofena's house proved that they only wanted to eliminate Adwoa Safo.
"Even before she could enter the house, you could see people. They are not ordinary people. They are trained security personnel. They knelt with the intention of finishing Adwoa Safo."
Adwoa Safo shot at his father's residence
On Sunday, June 21, 2026, Adwoa Safo was shot at the residence of his late father, where his brother Israel Safo, also known as Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, lived.
The shooting is the latest development in an escalating dispute over the leadership of the Kristo Asafo Mission following the death of Apostle Kwadwo Safo in September 2025.
After the incident, several prominent Ghanaians visited Adwoa Safo as the investigation continued.
Meanwhile, six people were arrested in connection with the shooting incident and Israel Safo was also apprehended.
They were later arraigned and granted bail. The case was adjourned to September 2026.
