There’s No Ongoing Recruitment Exercises- GAF

The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has stated that it is not undertaking a fresh recruitment exercise currently.

This was to dispute reports of an ongoing enlistment.

In a statement, it said its attention had been drawn to ongoing fraudulent activities by individuals impersonating senior military commanders in an attempt to deceive and extort money from unsuspecting members of the public under the pretence of offering recruitment support.

“The Ghana Armed Forces wishes to categorically state that there are no recruitment exercises ongoing for soldiers. However, enlistment for potential officer cadets which began last year is at its final stages.”

It categorically stated that any individual or group claiming to facilitate recruitment into the Armed Forces in exchange for money is engaging in criminal activity.

It therefore directed the public to report such activities to the nearest police station for appropriate action.

Meanwhile, it said GAF was working closely with law enforcement agencies to identify and prosecute these imposters.

It noted that an official public announcement would be made when the recruitment processes begin.

“The public is strongly encouraged to rely solely on these trusted sources for accurate information. The Armed Forces urges all citizens to remain vigilant and cooperate in the efforts against fraud and criminality.”
