The leadership of the Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana has dismissed reports circulating on social media alleging that Sarah Adwoa Safo was shot during an incident at the church's property in Kwabenya on Sunday, June 21, 2026.

In a statement issued by the church leadership, the Mission described the allegations as "false and misleading" and called on the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the incident.

According to the statement, the incident occurred during a lawful church event being held at the premises when Sarah Adwoa Safo allegedly arrived at the venue and drove her vehicle into the entrance gates of the property.

The church claims that the vehicle struck two metallic gates, causing significant damage to the structures and creating a potential danger to worshippers and invited guests who were present at the event.

"At the time of the incident, numerous worshippers and invited guests were present within the premises, including individuals seated in close proximity to the entrance," the statement said.

The church further stated that security personnel on duty intervened to prevent the situation from escalating and to ensure the safety of attendees.

Addressing reports that Adwoa Safo sustained a gunshot wound during the incident, the Mission said it had become aware of media reports and social media claims suggesting that she had been shot by her brother. However, it maintained that, based on information available to the church, no shooting occurred.

"We categorically reject these allegations as false and misleading," the statement emphasized.

The church leadership urged the public to refrain from drawing conclusions based on unverified reports and to allow law enforcement agencies to establish the facts through due process.

It reiterated its commitment to peace, truth, the rule of law, and the safety of all persons who attend its events.

The incident has generated widespread public interest, with many awaiting the outcome of investigations by the relevant security authorities.
