Alleged Shooting of Former MP Adwoa Safo Rocks Ghanaian Social Media
📍 Accra • by Znews • Jun 21, 2026
Unconfirmed Reports Spark Nationwide Concern
Social media in Ghana has been set ablaze with disturbing reports alleging that former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, was shot by her brother amid a heated family dispute over funeral arrangements and succession plans for their late father, Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka.
As of this publication, neither the Ghana Police Service nor official representatives of the Kantanka family have issued any confirmation regarding the alleged incident, leaving the public in a state of uncertainty and concern.
Graphic Image Fuels Speculation
The rumours intensified in the early hours of Sunday, June 21, 2026, following the widespread circulation of a photograph depicting a woman lying in a hospital bed with visible facial injuries and bloodstains.
Social media users have been quick to identify the injured woman as the 44-year-old former legislator and prominent New Patriotic Party (NPP) figure, though no credible source has authenticated the image or confirmed the woman's identity.
Family Feud Over Funeral Arrangements
The alleged incident comes against the backdrop of a highly publicized dispute within the Kantanka family regarding the burial arrangements and succession following the death of Apostle Safo Kantanka—the renowned industrialist, inventor, and founder of the Kristo Asafo Mission.
In recent weeks, conflicting factions within the family have publicly clashed over funeral planning, with contradictory announcements regarding burial dates and decision-making authority creating confusion and tension.
Succession Battle Intensifies
The controversy extends beyond funeral arrangements into a broader succession dispute within the Kristo Asafo Mission and the wider Kantanka movement.
Recent reports indicate that an attempt to install one of Apostle Safo's sons, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, as leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission was halted by a court injunction—a development that has reportedly escalated tensions within both the family and the church.
Meanwhile, some supporters of Adwoa Safo have publicly claimed that the late Apostle had designated her as his preferred successor. These assertions have been repeated by associates and commentators, though no official confirmation from either the family or church leadership has been widely reported to establish her as the undisputed successor.
Authority Dispute at the Heart of the Matter
The succession controversy appears closely intertwined with the disagreement over funeral arrangements. While some family members have reportedly challenged Adwoa Safo's authority to make decisions on behalf of the family, others have backed her role in announcing funeral plans and representing the family in public forums.
Calls for Restraint
With tensions continuing to mount and speculation spreading rapidly across social media platforms, observers are urging the public to exercise restraint until official information is released by the relevant authorities and family representatives.
