Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of Operations, Stan Dogbe, has issued an unqualified apology to a military officer following an incident at the Ghana Military Academy Graduation Ceremony on Friday, January 30, 2026.
Mr. Dogbe was captured in a viral video pushing a military officer who was operating a camera during the event, an action that sparked widespread public criticism, particularly on social media. The officer was reportedly attempting to capture shots of President John Dramani Mahama when the incident occurred.
In a Facebook post after the ceremony, Mr. Dogbe explained that his actions were triggered by what he described as repeated disruptions to a live camera feed by the officer.
“This is to apologise to my friend, Cpl Ofosu, for physically pushing him away after his repeated disruption of a live camera operator during today’s ceremony,” he stated.
He also extended his apology to other security personnel and emphasised the importance of improved coordination during public events.
“I know he and my other friends in uniform will accept my apology as we work to enhance and improve our existing collaboration at events,” he added.
The incident, which took place in the presence of the President, has renewed public debate about conduct and professionalism at official state functions.
