An official police communication obtained by The Chronicle has revealed details of a shooting incident involving former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Sarfo, who sustained gunshot injuries during a visit to her late father’s residence at Kwabenya on Saturday morning.

According to the police situation report (SITREP), Adwoa Sarfo reported to the Kwabenya Police Station at about 10:30 a.m. in a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado with registration number GN 3482-24, which had gunshot damage on the rear passenger-side window and front fender.

The police report stated that the former lawmaker alleged that upon arriving at her late father’s residence around 10:15 a.m., her brother, Nana Kwadwo Sarfo Akofena, ordered security personnel stationed at the property to open fire on her.

“On reaching the said residence, her brother Nana Kwadwo Sarfo Akofena ordered his security guards to open fire at her,” the police communication said.

The report further indicated that Adwoa Sarfo sustained gunshot injuries to her left ear and right hand during the incident and subsequently reported the matter to the police for action.

As part of the initial response, police issued her with a medical form to seek treatment while the vehicle involved was retained for ballistic examination.

The SITREP disclosed that the Greater Accra Regional Police Commander led a team of officers to the hospital, where they met Adwoa Sarfo receiving treatment. During her interaction with investigators, she reportedly explained that executives of the Cristo Asafo Mission intended to outdoor her brother, Nana Kwadwo Sarfo Akofena, as leader of the church.

However, according to her account, the matter had been taken to court and the church executives had been restrained from proceeding with the programme.

The report noted that Adwoa Sarfo later received information suggesting that the event was nevertheless being organised at her brother’s residence at Kwabenya Point One. She subsequently visited the location to assess the situation.

According to the police communication, she alleged that her brother and the Deputy General Secretary of the church, Kwasi Adjei, directed security personnel at the residence to shoot her.

The SITREP stated that security guards on duty at the house allegedly fired into her vehicle, resulting in the injuries she sustained.

Following the incident, police arrested six suspects identified as Tamakloe Safo Jehoshaphat, 38; Richard Ayertey, 38; Badu Enoch, 34; Amoakwah Sam, 37; Kwabena Safo, 35; and Gideon Safo, 35.

Police also retrieved five pump-action guns and one sidearm from the suspects.

The communication indicated that the suspects have since been handed over to the Anti-Armed Robbery Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters for further investigations, while officers from the Crime Scene Management Unit processed the scene.

It further revealed that Nana Kwadwo Sarfo Akofena and Kwasi Adjei, who allegedly ordered the shooting, have been invited by police to report on Monday, June 22, 2026.

The Director-General of the CID, COP Lydia Donkor, also visited the victim at the hospital as part of the police response.

According to the SITREP, Adwoa Sarfo has since been transferred to the 37 Military Hospital for further medical care.

Police say investigations into the attempted murder case are ongoing, with further updates expected as inquiries continue.
