At least six people have been killed in a stampede on Wednesday during a military recruitment exercise in Ghana’s capital Accra.
The country’s military said in a statement that the stampede was “triggered by an unexpected surge of applicants who breached security protocols.”
The applicants had arrived at the stadium where the recruitment exercise was taking place ahead of schedule.
Many others who were injured in the incident have sent to a military hospital nearby for treatment.
