The Ghana Armed Forces has disclosed that it has spent GH¢100,000 on the medical treatment of Sandra Baafi, one of the victims of the November 12, 2025, military recruitment stampede in Kumasi. The military has also provided her family with an additional GH¢30,000 in financial assistance.

The announcement follows a viral social media post by Sandra’s sister-in-law, Nancy Agyenim Boateng, who raised concerns about the young woman’s health condition nearly a year after the tragic incident.

In her post, Nancy expressed frustration over Sandra’s prolonged medical condition, revealing that the 25-year-old had remained bedridden and had not regained the ability to speak, walk or become fully conscious since the stampede.

Responding to the concerns, the Ghana Armed Forces issued a statement signed by Captain Veronica Adzo Arhin, Acting Director General of Public Relations, outlining the assistance provided to Sandra and her family.

According to the military, it has financed medical expenses amounting to GH¢100,000 and facilitated Sandra’s transfer from Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital to the 37 Military Hospital following a request from her family.

The statement further disclosed that Sandra’s mother received GH¢30,000 in financial support, together with an air bed, during a presentation ceremony held on October 28, 2026. The Armed Forces also offered an ambulance to assist with transporting the family to Kumasi.

Additionally, the military revealed that Sandra’s sister, Mercy Bioh, had been given a recruitment opportunity and was undergoing training at the Army Recruit Training School at Shai Hills.

The Ghana Armed Forces reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Sandra’s medical treatment and welfare, expressing hope for her eventual recovery.

The development has brought renewed attention to the devastating consequences of the 2025 Kumasi recruitment stampede and the ongoing challenges faced by victims and their families.
