The Ghana Police Service has arrested six private security guards in connection with a shooting incident involving former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, at Kwabenya on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
According to a police statement issued by the Accra Regional Public Affairs Unit, the arrests were made following investigations into the incident, which occurred at a private residence in the area.
A search conducted by the police led to the retrieval of five pump-action guns, a Taurus pistol loaded with seven rounds of 9mm ammunition, an additional magazine loaded with five rounds of 9mm ammunition, as well as communication equipment.
Preliminary investigations indicate that officers from the National Operations Directorate and the Intelligence Directorate, who were on special duty, responded to a distress call from the residence and proceeded to the scene.
