Today, our hearts are heavy as we reflect on the tragic stampede that claimed the lives of six young Ghanaians on Wednesday, 12 November 2025, at a military recruitment exercise in Accra. Initial confirmed number of deceased stood at SIX (6), with FIVE (5) in Intensive Care and TWELVE (12) in Critical Condition. These hopefuls had come seeking opportunity, eager to serve their nation. Instead, they were swept into chaos when thousands surged ahead of the scheduled start, breaching security protocols and overwhelming the site. We pray this number of the fallen does not rise. At this moment of national sorrow, we extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends left behind. To all those injured and traumatized by the event — we stand with you.
