6 security guards arrested over Kwabenya shooting incident involving Adwoa Safo
The Ghana Police Service has arrested six private security guards in connection with the shooting incident involving former Dome-Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo, at Kwabenya on June 21, 2026.
According to a police statement, a search operation conducted after the arrests led to the retrieval of five pump-action guns, a Taurus pistol loaded with seven rounds of 9mm ammunition, an additional magazine containing five rounds of 9mm ammunition, and communication equipment.
Police said personnel from the National Operations Directorate and the Intelligence Directorate, who were on special duty, responded to a distress call from a residence at Kwabenya.
Preliminary investigations established that a ceremony was taking place at the residence of Tamakloe Safo Jehoshaphat, also known as Akofena, when Adwoa Safo reportedly arrived and requested entry to the premises but was denied access.
Investigators further found that armed security personnel at the residence allegedly discharged firearms during the incident, resulting in injuries to Adwoa Safo.
Police also confirmed that her vehicle sustained multiple gunshot marks.
The suspects and the retrieved exhibits have been transferred to the Police Headquarters to assist with ongoing investigations.
The police service said efforts are continuing to identify and arrest all other persons connected to the incident.
The statement was signed by Superintendent Juliana Obeng, Head of Public Affairs for the Accra Regional Police Command.
