The former MP also broke her silence on the recent shooting incident, which she described as an assassination attempt made against her on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
In a lengthy statement posted to Facebook on Friday, July 3, 2026, she described the experience as one of the most harrowing moments of her life, saying bullets flew around her that morning and that the thought of leaving behind her two young children weighed heavily on her.
"I am profoundly grateful to be alive, and I do not take that reality for granted," she wrote in the statement, which has since drawn widespread attention across social media.
Adwoa Safo clarifies position in family dispute
Adwoa Safo addressed the narrative that has emerged publicly from her dispute with Israel Kwadwo Safo Akofena, which she called misinformation surrounding the circumstances that led to the shooting.
She stated clearly that her involvement in the matter had nothing to do with any desire to lead the Kristo Asafo Church, claim property, or seek any inheritance from her late father's estate.
She said:
"The matter at hand is neither about any aspiration on my part to lead the Kristo Asafo Church, nor does it concern a dispute over church property or, for that matter, inheritance."
The former MP said she was acting on her late father's final directives, a responsibility she described as one she could not set aside.
Beyond the incident itself, she expressed concern about what she described as a lack of urgency in bringing those responsible to justice.
She argued that if someone of her public standing could face such an attack and still see little decisive action from authorities, it raised serious questions about the safety of ordinary Ghanaians, particularly women and vulnerable members of society.
"While I fully respect the right of every accused person to due process and the presumption of innocence, I believe it is equally important that the justice system is seen to be firm, fair, impartial, and sensitive to the experiences of victims, especially women," she wrote.
