The family of former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament Adwoa Safo has expressed serious concern about her condition following an alleged shooting incident, describing her chances of survival as “50/50.” According to Dr. Boakye, Adwoa Safo sustained multiple gunshot wounds while seated in her vehicle as she attempted to serve her younger brother, Kwadwo Safo Akofena, with a court notice to stop his installation as the leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission. He stated that the former lawmaker remains in critical condition and is undergoing intensive medical treatment due to the severity of her injuries.
At a press conference in Accra on Thursday, June 25, Dr. Emmanuel Boakye, spokesperson for the Safo Kantanka family, said, “In percentage terms, the survival of Adwoa Safo is 50/50. The situation is very serious. She has undergone surgical operations, check-ups, and other medical procedures almost every day. The most recent was around 8 p.m. yesterday [Thursday, June 24]. She can’t even hear. I don’t know if she has any pellets in her ears; they removed some from her ears.
I understand that some pellets have also entered her head, and they are working on that. We need your prayers,” he added. He disclosed that doctors have advised the family to consider seeking specialised treatment abroad, prompting arrangements to be made for her transfer abroad for further medical care.
“The doctors are advising that, considering her condition, we do everything possible to take her abroad for further treatment. The situation is very serious. If I am told today that Adwoa is dead, I will not be surprised. Her body and head are swollen,” Dr. Boakye stated.
Meanwhile, the nine individuals accused in connection with the shooting incident involving former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament Sarah Adwoa Safo have been granted bail by the court. They were admitted to bail in the sum of GH¢500,000 with two sureties. The sureties are not required to be justified, but must sign a bail justification form as part of the court’s conditions.
