Kantanka Automobile CEO arrested in connection with Sarah Adwoa Safo shooting incident

Israel Kwadwo Safo, also known as Kwadwo Safo Kantanka Akofena, CEO of Kantanka Automobile Company, has been arrested by the Ghana Police Service. His arrest is in connection with a shooting incident involving former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, on June 21, 2026. Akofena reported himself to the Regional Police Headquarters on June 22, 2026, and was transferred to the Criminal Investigations Department CID Headquarters for ongoing investigations. A search of his vehicle and residence in Kwabenya led to the retrieval of 120 rounds of 9mm ammunition, 50 rounds of .45 calibre ammunition, 25 rounds of .40 calibre ammunition, additional loaded magazines, and two Glock pistols. Two other individuals, Nana Kwaku Afriyie and Kwadwo Safo Koomson, have also been arrested in connection with the case. All suspects are in police custody and are scheduled to appear in court on June 23, 2026. The shooting incident occurred during a gathering related to the Kristo Asafo leadership succession process, where tensions were reportedly high over the appointment of a new leader following the passing of Apostle Kwadwo Safo. Six private security personnel were also arrested earlier in connection with the incident, and weapons including pump-action shotguns and a loaded pistol were retrieved.
