At least six people have been confirmed dead following a stampede at the El-Wak Sports Stadium in Accra on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, during an ongoing military recruitment exercise.
Reports indicate that thousands of young Ghanaians had thronged the stadium in a desperate bid to secure enlistment into the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).
The large crowd, coupled with intense jostling at the entry points, led to chaos that resulted in multiple injuries and fatalities according to reports.
Citi News sources indicate that the bodies of the six deceased have been deposited at the 37 Military Hospital morgue, while several others are receiving emergency treatment at the facility’s casualty ward.
