Training drill for Customs recruits sparks online outrage (Video)

The video which shows recruits kneeling and squatting with their luggage has drawn the ire of Ghanaians on social media.

Many people have questioned the essence of such gruesome drills for Customs officers as their job entails more brains and less force.

Confirming the incident, the Assistant Commissioner of CEPS in the Volta Region, Junior Appiah-Warden told Accra based Joy News that the video was taken at the Academy at Kpetoe in the Volta Region.

A similar session in March 2018, led to the death of one of the cadets.
