Dr. Emmanuel Boakye, the spokesperson for the family of the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo, has alleged that Sarah Adwoa Safo, the former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, was a target of an assassination attempt.
He says the attempt on the ex legislator is linked to the ongoing succession dispute over the leadership of the Kristo Asafo Mission and its business conglomerate.
His comments follow a shooting incident involving the former MP on the order of her brother, Kwadwo Safo Akofena, at a residence belonging to their late father at Kwabenya.
According to the spokesperson, the Sunday, June 21, 2026, shooting incident was a deliberate and coordinated operation aimed at killing Madam Safo, rather than a random act of violence.
“I’m not a lawyer, but I can tell you, it was an attempt to kill an individual, attempted killing,” he told Accra-based Channel One TV on Monday, June 22, 2026.
He noted that the attack is connected to a broader internal struggle over the control of the church and other associated businesses following the passing of Apostle Kwadwo Safo.
He said the dispute involves Adwoa Safo and her brother, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, who are associated with competing claims in the succession process.
Dr. Boakye said the attack was planned, with individuals allegedly mobilised and deployed in advance to carry out what he described as an “elimination” mission.
“Personally, the family was shocked, the siblings, everybody was so shocked. How can you, in your right sense, without any medication, point a gun at your own sister, whatever crime that she has committed? No way,” he said.
He added that “some of them are employees of KPS. And the other guys, about 20 of them, they came there just that same day at dawn. They came there that dawn, for an operation. The operation was to eliminate Adwoa Safo.”
