Preliminary investigations indicate that personnel from the National Operations Directorate and the Intelligence Directorate, who were on special duty, responded to a distress call from a residence at Kwabenya and proceeded to the scene.

Investigations further revealed that armed security personnel stationed at the residence allegedly discharged firearms during the incident, resulting in injuries to Adwoa Safo. Her vehicle was also reportedly found with multiple gunshot marks.
The suspects, together with the retrieved weapons and other exhibits, have been transferred to Police Headquarters to assist with ongoing investigations.
