The state law enforcement apparatus has acted swiftly following a highly publicized outbreak of violence within the capital enclave.
Police operatives have arrested six private bodyguards attached to the residence of Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, the younger brother of former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament Sarah Adwoa Safo.
Picked up late Sunday evening, the suspects remain in custody to assist detectives in mapping out the exact details of the armed assault that left the prominent former lawmaker injured.
The operational breakdown in internal security stems directly from a long-running succession dispute within the prominent Kristo Asafo Mission. Factions have openly disagreed over who should legally take over the leadership of the massive church network following the passing of its iconic founder, Apostle Kwadwo Safo.
Logic dictates that when heavy family disagreements are left to boil over without a clear legal resolution, things can get incredibly messy very quickly. Eyewitnesses confirmed that the former legislator was sitting inside her vehicle right in front of her brother’s compound when the shooting started.
Sources familiar with the incident indicate that the attackers likely used a heavy pump-action shotgun. The spreading metal pellets caused multiple painful puncture wounds across her upper body, neck, and chest.
Emergency teams rushed the bleeding victim to a nearby hospital. While family members are understandably shaken, medical administrators confirm that her injuries are thankfully not life-threatening, and she is currently recovering in a stable condition.
Hoping to manage a massive religious and industrial empire while using private muscle to settle estate arguments is an absolute logical failure.

While church members across the country are waiting for an official police statement, taking up shotguns to stop a family discussion completely ruins a decades-old spiritual legacy.
True institutional growth relies on cold logic, clean paperwork, and deep respect for the rule of law. By placing these six bodyguards behind bars, the state police command is sending a very clear message that no matter your family status, structural disputes must be settled through proper judicial channels rather than street violence.
