On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, a stampede occurred at the Stadium during the Ghana Armed Forces’ annual recruitment exercise.
In a press statement released by the Ghana Armed Forces, six ladies died in the unfortunate incident, with many others sustaining severe injuries. Benedicta Yayra Kale was among the dead victims of the tragedy.
The unfortunate incident occurred after a large number of applicants reportedly breached security protocols.
According to the military, 28 people were taken to the 37 Military Hospital for treatment: five were reported to have been in the ICU, while 12 remained in critical condition.
Following the tragic incident, the recruitment exercise was suspended, with President John Dramani Mahama and some of his appointees visiting the injured victims in the hospital.
On Friday, November 14, 2025, a government delegation led by Deputy Defence Minister Brogya Genfi and the Gender Minister Agnes Naa Momo Lartey visited the late Benedicta’s home in Sowutuom, Accra, to commiserate with her grieving family.
