Former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, is reportedly recovering following a harrowing shooting incident in Kwabenya. During a press conference held at the 37 Military Hospital on June 23, 2026, the family of the former legislator provided updates on her condition and the circumstances surrounding the attack. Nana Pomaa Nhyira, an aunt to the politician, spoke to the media, revealing that the incident has left the family shaken but grateful for what they describe as a miraculous escape from certain death.
The most striking detail from the family’s account involves a claim of supernatural intervention during the crisis. According to Nana Pomaa Nhyira, Sarah Adwoa Safo believes she was shielded from the hail of bullets by the spiritual presence of her late father, the renowned industrialist and religious leader Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka. The family asserts that despite the intensity of the shooting, the former MP felt a divine protection that prevented the projectiles from causing fatal harm. This spiritual claim has added a layer of mysticism to the ongoing investigation as the public and security agencies await further details on the perpetrators.
While the nation processes this security incident, solo traveler Joseph Ampadu has launched a historic journey to put Ghana on the map of global exploration. Ampadu is attempting to become the first Ghanaian to drive a Ghana-registered Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon across five continents: Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America. This ambitious expedition is designed not only as a personal adventure but also as a means to showcase the Ghanaian spirit and the endurance of a vehicle registered in the West African nation on world-class roads and difficult terrains alike.
Ampadu's journey represents a significant milestone in global travel, seeking to document a unique perspective of the world through the lens of a Ghanaian explorer. As both stories capture national attention—one centered on a miraculous survival in a local crisis and the other on a bold international adventure—they highlight the contrasting narratives of vulnerability and triumph currently defining the modern Ghanaian experience. Authorities are expected to provide more updates on the Kwabenya shooting while the travel community monitors Ampadu's progress across the globe.
