The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has announced the resumption of its recruitment exercise in the Greater Accra Region.
According to GAF, its recruitment exercise resumes beginning Thursday, November 20, 2025.
GAF, in a press statement on Monday, November 17, 2025, signed by Captain Veronica Adzo Arhin (Ghana Navy), Acting Director General of Public Relations, also announced that the screening process will be placed in eight sub-centres within five key locations in Accra.
“El-Wak Stadium – 2 centres, Nicholson Park, Burma Camp – 2 centres, Air Force Base, Burma Camp, Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), Teshie – 2 centres and the Eastern Naval Command, Tema”, GAF statement detailed.
The statement further revealed that all qualified applicants will be grouped in batches of 600 and will receive notifications detailing their reporting dates and centres.
They further urged applicants to regularly check the recruitment portal for updates.
The statement further added that new officers will now oversee the recruitment process, which includes Commodore F.A. Nyarko – Director General, Human Resource, Colonel F. Kusi-Darko – Director, Manpower, and Colonel G.B. Eduah – Director, Information Technology.
Additionally, GAF added that the November 12 stampede victims will receive free medical care until they are fully recovered and also receive a special recruitment package after recovery.
This follows the six people who have died in the ongoing military recruitment at the El-Wak Stadium.
According to GAF, 28 people were taken to the 37 Military Hospital.
They further revealed that six people have died, with five in the ICU and another 12 in critical condition.
Reports suggest the six died as a result of a stampede at the El-Wak Sports Stadium in Accra after thousands of young Ghanaians thronged the El-Wak stadium in a desperate bid to secure enlistment into the Ghana military.
Meanwhile, Prophet Kofi Oduro, the General Overseer of Alabaster International Ministries, has boldly told the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) to refund the 60,000 applicants’ money.
The man of God communicated displeasure in the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) following the deaths of six young girls during the military recruitment.
According to Prophet Oduro, the Ghana Armed Forces knew they were looking for a thousand people and should have capped their system at ten thousand, arguing that GAF allowed sixty thousand Ghanaians to show up when they were only looking for four thousand.
Speaking to his congregants, Prophet Oduro stated, “The Armed Forces have given people the opportunity to blaspheme the institution. You are looking for four thousand people. So then the system should be capped at ten thousand.
We block the portal. Case closed. We allow sixty thousand to come in when we want only four thousand, he added.
Prophet Oduro boldly declared that the Ghana Armed Forces must refund the fees of all 60,000 applicants if they fail to recruit them.
According to him, the blood of the six victims who died during the El-Wak stampede would be on the hands of the Army if they fail to refund the 60,000 Ghanians.
“So then I stand on this altar and I say to the Ghana Armed Forces, refund the money of all those 60,000 people. If you don’t enlist them… all the blood of these girls shall be on your head,” he added.
