MASSIVE BLOW: Over 6,000 Applicants Disqualified in Ghana Security Recruitment Over Drug Abuse & Mental Health Issues 🚨
More than 6,000 applicants have reportedly been disqualified during Ghana’s ongoing security services recruitment exercise after failing newly introduced drug and mental health screening tests, according to Interior Minister Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak.
According to the minister, over 100,000 applicants underwent medical examinations as part of the recruitment process into the various security services.
Authorities reportedly expanded the screening process beyond the usual physical and laboratory checks to include drug tests and mental health assessments due to growing concerns about discipline, wellbeing, and operational readiness within the services.
The Interior Minister revealed that:
• More than 4,000 applicants failed drug tests
• About 2,000 applicants were disqualified on mental health grounds
Speaking during an interview on Pan African TV, he stated:
“We introduced additional checks including mental health assessments and drug tests. Interestingly, over 4,000 people failed the drug test, and we have over 2,000 who also failed due to mental health conditions.”
The revelation has triggered widespread reactions online, with many Ghanaians expressing concern over increasing substance abuse and mental health challenges among the youth.
The stricter screening measures are part of government efforts to improve standards, professionalism, and discipline within Ghana’s security agencies.
My life is at risk. I can confirm that it’s in my blood or genes as well because my dad and sister died from cancer.”
An old video of Beverly Afaglo speaking passionately about cancer awareness has resurfaced online following the heartbreaking news of her passing.
In the emotional video, Beverly revealed that cancer runs deeply in her family, saying both her father and sister died from the disease. According to her, different forms of cancer affected her family, including blood cancer, brain cancer, spinal cancer, and breast cancer.
She stated:
“My life is at risk. I can confirm that it’s in my blood or genes as well because my dad and sister died from cancer.”
At the moment, there is no official confirmation that Beverly Afaglo died as a result of cancer, but many social media users are revisiting her awareness message and calling for more education and support for cancer patients.
Until the family officially speaks on the cause of death, many continue to mourn her painful loss.
May her soul rest in perfect peace. 💔🕊️
