Six private security men involved in the Sarah Adwoa Safo shooting incident at her brother’s house have been arrested by the police.

The Police, in a statement issued Sunday evening, said it has arrested six private security guards in connection with the shooting incident involving Sarah Adwoa Safo, which occurred at Kwabenya on June 21, 2026.

According to the police, a search conducted has led to the retrieval of five pump-action guns, one Taurus pistol loaded with seven rounds of 9mm ammunition, an additional magazine loaded with five rounds of 9mm ammunition, and communication equipment.

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.

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.

 

Police investigations further revealed that armed security personnel at the residence allegedly discharged firearms during the incident, resulting in the injury to Adwoa Safo.

Her vehicle was also found with multiple gunshot marks.

The suspects and exhibits have been transferred to the Police Headquarters to assist ongoing investigations.

Investigations are ongoing to locate and arrest all other persons connected with the incident, the police said.
