Stan Dogbe apologises for pushing a military officer
The Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of Operations, Stan Dogbe, has issued an unreserved apology to a military officer following an incident at the Ghana Military Academy Graduation Ceremony held on Friday, January 30, 2026.
Mr. Dogbe came under intense public criticism after a video circulated on social media showing him physically pushing a military officer during the ceremony. The officer, a cameraman, was attempting to capture images of the President when Mr. Dogbe forcefully pushed him aside.
In a Facebook post issued after the incident, Mr. Dogbe explained that his actions were in response to what he described as repeated interference with 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 wrote.
He also extended his apology to other security personnel, emphasizing the need for better 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,” Mr. Dogbe added.
The incident occurred in the presence of President John Dramani Mahama and has reignited public debate about conduct at official state functions.
