GHANA ARMED FORCES CAUTIONS PUBLIC AGAINST FAKE PRESS RELEASE

ON RECRUITMENT
The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has noted a fake press release on social media, directing
interested applicants who want to join GAF to forward their summary report and contact
information to a fraudulent email address: ghforces37@gmail.com. Additionally, the fake
document makes reference to a purported press release by the Finance Ministry to GAF about
holding on recruitment of new officers across all sectors due to financial constraints on the part of
government.
GAF wishes to inform and caution the general public to disregard the fake document on social
media as it is not conducting enlistment or recruitment as at date. To this end, persons interested
in joining the military are advised to solely stick to the official and certified channels used by GAF
to announce its enlistment and recruitment exercises; which are the Daily Graphic and Ghanaian
Times newspapers.
Once again, GAF wishes to state that it is currently not conducting any enlistment or recruitment
thus the public is entreated to disregard the fraudulent press release. The public is urged to report
such fake internet links and illicit activities to the nearest military installation or police station.
The cooperation of the general public is also solicited to help curb the menace of recruitment fraud
across the country.

Lieutenant Colonel
