The Minister for Defence, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has set the record straight on a viral social media letter claiming an e-recruitment exercise by the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF). According to Dr. Boamah, the letter is entirely fake and has no connection to the GAF.
In a statement shared on his official social media platforms, Dr. Boamah cautioned the public against falling prey to misinformation. “The letter which has gone viral on social media is fake,” the Minister stated. “It has absolutely no link to the GAF. We’ll issue a formal statement when we advertise for recruitment and enlistment. Just stay tuned!”
Dr. Boamah revealed that the government is set to recruit and enlist 12,000 personnel into the Ghana Armed Forces over the next three and a half years, with the process expected to commence soon. The Ministry has urged the public to rely solely on official GAF and Ministry of Defence communication channels for accurate updates regarding recruitment processes.
The Defence Minister’s clarification comes amid growing interest among the youth in securing positions within the security services. Authorities are encouraging individuals to report suspicious recruitment schemes to law enforcement agencies to help combat fraud and protect potential applicants.
