On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, Matilda Midorse died along with five others after a stampede occurred during the Ghana Armed Forces' annual recruitment screening exercise.
The stampede reportedly began after a large number of applicants breached security protocols at El-Wak Sports Stadium.
In a press statement released by the Ghana Armed Forces, 28 people were taken to the 37 Military Hospital for treatment. Of these, five were reported to have been in the ICU, while 12 remained in critical condition.
The Ghana Armed Forces assured the general public that medical teams were working tirelessly to stabilise affected individuals.
On Thursday, November 13, 2025, a delegation from the NDC government visited the residences of the six victims to commiserate with their grieving families, including Matilda's.
The MPs in the Parliament of Ghana, led by the Speaker Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, have also visited the injured victims at the hospital and donated GH₵100,000 for their medical treatment.
The Government of Ghana also pledged to pay GH¢50,000 funeral costs and GH¢100,000 compensation to each of the families of the six El-Wak stampede victims.
