Adwoa Safo petitions Attorney-General to move shooting case to High Court over jurisdiction concerns

Former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has petitioned the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice to review and transfer a criminal case involving an alleged shooting incident from the Adenta Circuit Court to the High Court. In a petition dated June 25, 2026, her lawyers argued that the Circuit Court lacks jurisdiction to hear the case because the principal offence constitutes a first-degree felony, which they say is triable only at the High Court.
