An aunt of former Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo has called for a thorough investigation into the shooting incident involving her niece, alleging that 48 bullets were fired during the attack.
Nana Pomaa Nhyira described the incident as a matter of life and death, stressing that Mrs. Safo was fortunate to have survived.
“Forty-eight bullets were fired at Adwoa Safo. If she had been seriously injured, we would be telling a different story today. We thank God she survived,” she said.
She urged the Ghana Police Service and the judiciary to treat the case with utmost seriousness and ensure justice is delivered.
Nana Pomaa Nhyira also expressed concern over the Adenta Circuit Court’s decision to grant bail to Israel Kwadwo Safo Akofena and eight others accused in connection with the Kwabenya shooting. Each was granted bail of GH¢500,000 with two sureties.
While acknowledging the court’s authority, she insisted that due process must run its full course.
“This is a life-and-death situation. I plead with the Inspector-General of Police and the judges to look into it carefully and deliver fair judgment,” she added.
She further questioned the level of force allegedly used, arguing that no individual should be subjected to such treatment regardless of the circumstances.
