The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has announced that all recruitment centres in Accra, as part of its 2025/2026 enlistment exercise, will be closed on Monday, November 24, except for El-Wak Sports Stadium.
Potential recruits who have not yet been screened are to report to El-Wak for the continuation of their documentation and body selection process.
This move follows a tragic incident earlier this month, when a stampede at El-Wak Stadium on 12 November claimed the lives of six hopeful recruits and left several others injured.
Meanwhile, senior military officers overseeing the recruitment have been asked to step aside to ensure a fair and transparent investigation.
GAF has reiterated its commitment to assisting those affected by the stampede. Injured applicants continue to receive free care at the 37 Military Hospital, and a “special recruitment package” will be extended both to the injured once fully recovered, and to the families of those who died
