GAF 2025 enlistment to begin soon, warns public against fake recruitment links

The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has announced that its 2025 enlistment and recruitment exercise will begin in the coming days across all 16 regional capitals.

In a press statement issued on Monday, 29 September, GAF explained that the decentralised process is designed to provide equal opportunities to all eligible applicants, regardless of their location.

The statement noted that official information on the recruitment exercise will be published exclusively on the Ghana Armed Forces’ verified platforms, including its official websites, as well as in state-owned newspapers such as the Daily Graphic and Ghanaian Times.

GAF also cautioned the public against fraudulent recruitment advertisements and links circulating on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

It stressed that no legitimate enlistment details will be shared through these channels or by individuals claiming affiliation with the military.

“The general public is kindly informed that any purported recruitment links on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or any other social media platforms inviting people for protocol recruitment is a scam and should be ignored,” the statement warned.

“No such enlistment or recruitment invitation will emanate from any member of the Ghana Armed Forces or its High Command and should be ignored as well,” the statement added.

The Armed Forces urged the public to cooperate in safeguarding the integrity of the recruitment process.

It also advised prospective applicants to remain vigilant and rely solely on official sources for accurate information.
