In a heartfelt post, the GHOne TV General Manager called on authorities to modernise the country’s recruitment processes to prevent such needless loss of life. According to her, the tragedy was entirely avoidable if Ghana adopted a more efficient and transparent digital system.

The heartbreaking incident occurred earlier today during the Ghana Armed Forces recruitment exercise, which attracted thousands of eager applicants. Overcrowding at the stadium led to chaos, resulting in injuries and the loss of six lives.

President John Dramani Mahama has paid a visit to potential Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) recruits who were hospitalized following a tragic stampede earlier today at the Elwak Sports Stadium in Accra.
The incident occurred during a mass recruitment exercise that reportedly drew thousands of hopeful applicants. Unfortunately, overcrowding at the venue led to a stampede, leaving several injured and a few in critical condition.
President Mahama Visits Injured Military Recruits After Elwak Stadium Stampede 12
President Mahama, accompanied by senior military officers and health officials, visited the injured recruits at the 37 Military Hospital, where they are receiving medical treatment. He expressed deep concern over the tragedy and assured the affected individuals and their families of the government’s full support.
“I am deeply saddened by this incident. Every young Ghanaian deserves a fair and safe opportunity to serve their country,” the President stated. He also commended the medical staff for their swift response in stabilizing victims and urged the Ghana Armed Forces to review safety protocols in future recruitment exercises to prevent a recurrence.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the stampede, with authorities promising to implement immediate measures to ensure public safety during such national exercises.
The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has confirmed a tragic incident during its recruitment exercise that resulted in 28 casualties. According to an official statement, 12 individuals are currently in critical condition, 5 have been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and 6 people have sadly been confirmed dead.
The stampede reportedly occurred early Wednesday morning when a large crowd of applicants gathered at one of the recruitment centres, leading to chaos as the gates opened. Eyewitnesses described the scene as “devastating,” with some applicants collapsing due to suffocation and excessive pushing.
Military officials say medical teams were immediately deployed to provide emergency treatment to the injured, and investigations have begun to determine the cause of the incident and prevent future occurrences.
The GAF expressed condolences to the families of the deceased and assured the public that safety measures will be reviewed before continuing the recruitment process.
Former Managing Director of the Bulk Oil Storage & Transportation Company (BOST) (BOST), Edwin Nii Obodai Provencal, has been arrested by the Economic & Organised Crime Office (EOCO) as he sought to board a flight abroad while still under travel restrictions.
Former BOST MD Edwin Provencal Arrested at Airport for Attempting to Travel Despite Being on Stop List 16
According to reports, Provencal was apprehended at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra on Monday, 10 November 2025, as he prepared to fly to Maputo, Mozambique for a scheduled engagement. He was said to have been placed on a “stop-list” on 8 October 2025—a directive that allegedly barred him from leaving the country—though he claimed he had not been aware of this restriction at the time of his attempted travel.
Neither EOCO nor other official agencies have yet publicly detailed the precise charges or the basis for the stop-list designation in his case. However, media commentary links the action to alleged irregularities in the “gold-for-oil” programme introduced by a prior administration—an initiative that aimed to use Ghana’s gold reserves to secure fuel imports and had attracted scrutiny for lack of transparency.
Commenting publicly on the arrest, former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, stressed the importance of following due process even in high-profile corruption or financial-crime investigations. “We in the NPP are not saying that when people are found culpable in a crime, they shouldn’t face the law. But due process must be followed,” Boadu said in an interview with Accra-based radio. He also warned against conflating individual alleged wrongdoing with damage to the party itself, saying: “If someone is accused of stealing or embezzling funds, they did not bring it to the NPP or finance the party… Maybe they financed their constituencies or a candidate, but not the day-to-day running of the party.”
Provencal’s arrest is the latest in a series of moves by Ghanaian law-enforcement agencies targeting former officials and executives in the energy and resource sectors. Given his role at BOST—a key state-owned enterprise charged with overseeing the country’s oil storage and transportation infrastructure—his detention raises significant questions about accountability and governance in Ghana’s petroleum sector.
Observers note that being placed on a stop-list typically means an individual is barred from international travel pending investigations or legal proceedings. The fact that the stop-list was issued more than a month before his attempted travel—and that he may have been unaware of it—could complicate the case and highlight gaps in communication or enforcement of such measures.
In the coming days, attention will focus on whether formal charges are filed, whether Provencal is released on bail or held in custody, and how the investigation unfolds. Transparency around the reasons for his restriction and detention will be critical in maintaining public confidence in the anti‐corruption drive. For now, the arrest underscores the shifting mood in Ghana toward greater scrutiny of public-sector executives and the mechanisms used to hold them to account.
Tension is brewing within the family of the late Flight Sergeant Samuel Aboagye, one of the victims of the August 6 military helicopter crash, as his widow reportedly refuses to allow a DNA test on their child.
DNA Wahala: Late Soldier’s Wife Blocks DNA Test Amid Affair Allegations with MP 18
According to close sources, the DNA test was requested by investigators as part of the official probe into the crash victims and their dependents. However, the woman allegedly blocked the process, insisting it was unnecessary.
What has sparked public curiosity is a circulating claim that she was allegedly involved in an affair with an unnamed Member of Parliament from the Ashanti Region — a relationship said to have begun before her husband’s tragic passing.
The Aboagye family has since taken legal action, accusing the widow of obstructing justice and tampering with the investigation. On her part, she has reportedly filed a counter-motion, seeking a court injunction to prevent any DNA testing from being carried out.
The controversy has drawn wide attention on social media, with many calling for transparency and others demanding privacy for the grieving family as investigations continue.
The Acting Minister for Defence, Dr. Atto Forson, has officially presented the findings of the committee investigating the August 6 helicopter crash to the President at the Jubilee House.
