Prophet Kofi Oduro, the General Overseer of Alabaster International Ministries, has called on the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) to refund the application fees paid by applicants who do not make it into the military.

The man of God, known for speaking his mind, said that if the GAF fails to refund the money, the blood of the six ladies who died during the El-Wak stampede would haunt them.

In a sermon at church, Prophet Kofi Oduro expressed disappointment in the GAF’s recruitment process, noting that digitisation could help prevent such occurrences.

He indicated that the GAF, through its actions, has caused several Ghanaians to disrespect the institution.

“The Armed Forces have given people the opportunity to blaspheme against the institution. You are looking for four thousand people, so the system should be capped at ten thousand. We block the portal — case closed. But we allow sixty thousand to come in when we want only four thousand,” he said.

Prophet Oduro further insisted that the Ghana Armed Forces should refund the fees of all 60,000 applicants if they fail to recruit them. He warned that the blood of the six victims who died during the El-Wak stampede would be on the Army’s hands if refunds are not made.

“So then I stand on this altar and I say to the Ghana Armed Forces: refund the money of all those 60,000 people. If you don’t enlist them… all the blood of these girls shall be on your head,” he added.

The El-Wak stampede occurred on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. Six ladies lost their lives, and others were injured at the El-Wak Stadium during a stampede. Many of those present had applied to join the Ghana Armed Forces.
