Six killed in El-Wak military stampede

The tragic deaths of six female applicants at the El-Wak military stadium occurred following a reported breach in security measures.

According to the statement from the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) in the aftermath of the tragedy, their preliminary investigations indicated that the stampede was caused by an unexpected surge of applicants who flocked to the gates ahead of the scheduled screening.

"Preliminary investigations indicate that the stampede was triggered by an unexpected surge of applicants who breached security protocols and rushed into the gates ahead of the scheduled screening at about 0620 hours," the statement said.

In a follow-up statement, the GAF announced the temporary suspension of the screening exercise in the Greater Accra Region and the establishment of a Board of Inquiry was also constituted to unravel the circumstances that preceded the unfortunate incident.

On November 20, a week after the tragedy, the recruitment exercise resumed in a far more orderly fashion, with fewer applicants scheduled for screening and cooling fans installed at the venue to prevent heatstroke.
