The Greater Accra Regional Police Command has summoned Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena for questioning in connection with a shooting incident at Kwabenya on Sunday, June 21.
Director of Public Affairs at the Regional Police Command, Superintendent Juliana Obeng, disclosed this on Nhyira FM’s “Kro Yi Mu Nsem” morning show on Monday, June 22.
According to her, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena is expected to report to the Regional Command to assist with investigations.
“The Ghana Police Service has invited Mr Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena to assist with investigations into a shooting incident,” Supt. Obeng told host Barima Kofi Dawson.
She also confirmed that six private security personnel arrested in connection with the shooting remain in custody as legal processes continue.
A search conducted by police led to the recovery of five pump-action guns, one Taurus pistol loaded with seven rounds of 9mm ammunition, an additional magazine with five rounds of 9mm ammunition, and communication equipment.
Supt. Obeng stated that anyone required to assist investigations will be summoned, and those found culpable will face the full rigours of the law.
She confirmed that former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection and former Dome-Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo, sustained injuries in the incident but is in stable condition. Medical personnel are monitoring her progress.
“Preliminary investigations indicate that police personnel from the National Operations Directorate and the Intelligence Directorate, who were on special duty, received a distress call from a residence at Kwabenya and proceeded to the scene,” she said.
“Upon arrival, it was established that a ceremony was being held at the residence of Mr Tamakloe Safo Jehoshaphat alias Akofena, when Adwoa Safo reportedly arrived and requested access to the premises but was denied entry. The armed security personnel at the residence allegedly discharged firearms during the incident, resulting in injuries to Adwoa Safo. Her vehicle was also found with multiple gunshot marks.”
