GAF spends Ghc130,000 on Kumasi stampede victim Sandra Baafi

The Ghana Armed Forces has revealed it has spent Ghc100,000 on the medical treatment of Sandra Baafi, a victim of the November 12, 2025, Kumasi recruitment stampede, and provided her family with an additional Ghc30,000 in financial assistance.

In a statement signed by Captain Veronica Adzo Arhin, Acting Director General of Public Relations, the military said Sandra was transferred from Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital to the 37 Military Hospital at her family’s request, with the Armed Forces covering the cost.

It added that her mother received GHC30,000 and an air bed at a ceremony held on October 28, 2026, while the military offered an ambulance to transport the family to Kumasi.

“The Ghana Armed Forces remains committed to Miss Baafi’s full recovery and will continue to work closely with the family to support her medical care and welfare,” the statement said.

The military also disclosed that Sandra’s sister, Mercy Bioh, was offered a recruitment opportunity and is currently undergoing training at the Army Recruit Training School at Shai Hills.

The clarification follows a social media post by Sandra’s sister-in-law, Nancy Agyenim Boateng, who said the 25-year-old had remained bedridden since the stampede and had not regained full consciousness.

“Since then, it’s been one story after the other. One diagnosis after the other. One full year on the hospital bed. Sandra has not talked, walked or gained full consciousness,” Nancy wrote.
