In the advert announcing the recruitment into the Ghana Military Academy, the GAF reminded the public that it does not employ middlemen or charge fees for enlistment.
“The public is therefore strongly advised to desist from paying monies to any person(s) who present themselves as agents or middlemen with the promise to help potential applicants enter the Ghana Military Academy.”
“The Ghana Armed Forces further wishes to state that individuals who present themselves as middlemen. intermediaries or agents demanding payment in order to assist any candidate(s) should be reported to the nearest Military Installation or Police Station. In the same vein, interested applicants who choose to pay monies to purported agents for help are equally culpable in the fraudulent act,” it added.
Interested persons are therefore to refer to the Friday, September 13, 2024 edition of the Daily Graphic for more information regarding the enlistment process and desist from patronising fraudulent recruitment sites on social media.
