  • The Kristo Asafo Mission in Ghana has accused former MP Sarah Adwoa Safo of falsely claiming she was shot during a church event.
  • The mission stated Safo drove her vehicle into church gates, endangering worshippers, and denied any shooting occurred.
  • Authorities are urged to investigate the incident, and the public is asked to await official findings.

The Kristo Asafo Mission has publicly refuted claims that former Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo sustained gunshot wounds during a church event. The mission stated that the incident on June 21, 2026, at its Kwabenya property involved Safo forcefully driving her vehicle into the church gates, causing significant damage and endangering numerous worshippers present.

In a statement, the church described the allegations of a shooting, reportedly involving Safo's brother, as "false and misleading." They asserted that "to the best of our knowledge and based on information presently available to us, no such shooting occurred." Security personnel intervened to prevent further escalation of the situation.

The Kristo Asafo Mission is now calling for a thorough and impartial investigation by the authorities into all aspects of the incident. They urge the public to avoid drawing conclusions based on unverified social media reports and to allow law enforcement to establish the facts through due process. The mission emphasized its commitment to peace, truth, the rule of law, and the safety of all attendees at its events.

We categorically reject these allegations as false and misleading. To the best of our knowledge and based on information presently available to us, no such shooting occurred.
