President John Dramani Mahama has confirmed that all six individuals who tragically lost their lives in the Elwak Stadium stampede were female.
All Six Victims of Elwak Stampede Were Female — President Mahama Confirms 2
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.
Speaking after visiting the injured recruits at the 37 Military Hospital, President Mahama expressed deep sorrow over the deaths and extended condolences to the families of the deceased.
“It’s tough to know that all six who died were young women, full of dreams and hope to serve their country,” the President said emotionally. “We must ensure this never happens again.”
Authorities have since launched investigations into the cause of the stampede, while security and health officials continue to monitor the condition of those hospitalized.
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, 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 8
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 10
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.

The President expressed appreciation to the Ministry of Defence and the committee for their swift and transparent handling of the investigation.
The August 6 crash, which involved a military helicopter on routine operation, raised national concern and prompted the immediate establishment of the investigative committee. The presentation of the final report signifies the conclusion of the inquiry, paving the way for strategic reforms and enhanced operational safety measures within the armed forces’ air units.
Ghana has officially signed a bilateral debt agreement with the Federal Republic of Germany, marking the sixth such accord under the government’s ongoing debt restructuring programme.
Ghana Signs Bilateral Debt Agreement with Germany — Sixth Under Ongoing Restructuring Programme 14
This milestone agreement forms part of Ghana’s broader efforts to stabilize its economy and restore debt sustainability following the country’s recent financial challenges. The deal, which aligns with the G20 Common Framework, aims to ease Ghana’s external debt burden while creating fiscal space for development and social spending.
According to the Ministry of Finance, the agreement with Germany demonstrates continued confidence and support from international partners, reinforcing Ghana’s commitment to fiscal discipline and transparent reforms. Germany joins other bilateral creditors — including France, the United Kingdom, and China — who have already reached similar deals with Accra as part of the restructuring process.
Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam described the move as another positive step toward Ghana’s economic recovery, adding that the government remains committed to fulfilling its obligations under the IMF-supported programme.
The partnership underscores the strong diplomatic and economic ties between Ghana and Germany, with both nations emphasizing cooperation in sustainable development, renewable energy, and private sector investment.
As Ghana continues negotiations with remaining creditors, this agreement represents yet another stride toward restoring investor confidence and ensuring long-term economic stability.
Today marks exactly two years since the tragic passing of Ghanaian football star Christian Atsu, who died in the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey in February 2023. The former Black Stars winger was among thousands who lost their lives after the 7.8-magnitude quake hit southern Turkey and parts of Syria.
Remembering Christian Atsu: Two Years Since Ghana Lost a Legend 16
Just hours before his untimely death, Atsu had delivered a moment of magic — scoring a last-minute winner for Hatayspor against Kasımpaşa in the Turkish Super Lig. It was a goal that brought joy to fans but would tragically become his final act on the pitch.
Born on January 10, 1992, Christian Atsu would have turned 33 years old this year. Known for his dazzling pace, humility, and generous heart, Atsu’s influence stretched far beyond football. He played for top clubs such as Chelsea, Newcastle United, FC Porto, and Everton, while representing Ghana with distinction in multiple AFCON and World Cup tournaments.
Beyond the field, Atsu was deeply respected for his humanitarian works, supporting prisoners, widows, and underprivileged children through his charitable foundations.
Two years on, Ghanaians, fans, and the global football community continue to mourn and celebrate the life of a true legend — a man whose light still shines through his legacy of kindness and passion.
