The incident is said to be linked to an ongoing disagreement within the Kristo Asafo family over succession plans following the passing of Apostle Kwadwo Safo.
The dispute has reportedly led to legal challenges, with some family members opposing efforts to appoint Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena as the leader of the organisation.
The Ghana Police Service has not yet released an official statement regarding the alleged shooting. Authorities are expected to investigate the incident and determine the circumstances surrounding the reported gunfire.
