At the Nicholson Stadium in Burma Camp, Accra, one applicant was apprehended by military police after he was found to have presented forged academic and identification documents during the screening process.
According to GAF officials, the documents raised suspicion during verification, prompting immediate investigation and subsequent arrest.
