An applicant has been arrested in the ongoing Ghana Armed Forces recruitment screening at the El-Wak Sports Stadium for allegedly forging documents.
According to GAF officials, the suspect’s papers were flagged by specialists deployed onsite to verify credentials. The forgery was detected immediately, leading to his swift arrest to prevent “fraudsters infiltrating the military.”
The suspect has been handed over to security authorities for further investigation and processing.
Colonel Evelyn Asamoah, Director of Protocol, confirmed the arrest and assured that the verification system is designed to eliminate impostors and safeguard the integrity of the recruitment process.
The recruitment process resumed on Thursday, November 20, 2025, at the El-Wak stadium, after it was suspended following the stampede that caused the death of six females.
Meanwhile, Chairman of the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament, James Agalga, who led a monitoring visit by the committee to the recruitment centre at the Elwak Stadium, expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the exercise.
