Latest on the death of the Customs Recruit ================================= Mr Isaac Kofi Toffah, Commandant at Ghana Revenue Authority’s Customs Division Training Academy at Kpetoe, has confirmed to US FM on Monday, that Alex Adu, a Customs recruit died after he collapsed during a routine welcome training exercise on Saturday. The 35 years old Adu reported together with 32 other driver-recruits at the Academy for a two-week training course. According to Mr Toffah, the recruits were asked to carry their luggages and trek from a distance to the Academy after a roll call was conducted. He said exercises such jumping running, and press-ups, are routine for all recruits during the walk. The commandant further disclosed that prior to the exercise, the Physical Training Instructor (PTI) asked if anyone had a medical condition to which one of the recruits with multiple fractures responded affirmatively and was excused after examination. Mr Toffah said after sometime, the PTI and his assistants observed that Adu was having difficulties with the exercise and asked him to take a rest at the entrance of the Academy. He said after sometime, Adu was found shivering and a nurse was called in and he was conveyed by ambulance to regional hospital in Ho, Where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. Mr Toffah has however dispelled reports suggesting that the recruit died out of molestations during the exercise and said checks indicate that the deceased had some health problems.
