Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has called for the need to protect citizens who aspire to serve in the Ghana Armed Forces following the tragic stampede at the El-Wak Sports Stadium that claimed six lives, leaving others injured.
In a post on social media, Mr Ablakwa expressed condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and urged prayers for the injured.
"No Ghanaian should ever lose their life for patriotically and courageously responding to a national call to be recruited into the Ghana Armed Forces so they can protect us.
"Those who seek to wear uniforms to protect us also deserve our full protection," he noted.
He also called on the nation to learn lessons from the tragedy and implement reforms in recruitment procedures.
“Reform recruitment processes as the President has assured, and pledge that never again shall this avoidable tragedy be allowed to happen,” he added.
