Big Ghun and Betfox Ghana Launch Campaign to Distribute 3,000 Helmets to Riders

According to a report by 3News published on November 10, 2026, musician and creative personality Big Ghun has partnered with Betfox Ghana to launch a nationwide road safety campaign aimed at distributing more than 3,000 motorcycle helmets to riders across the country.

The initiative, which began in Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region, seeks to reduce motorcycle-related fatalities by promoting responsible riding and encouraging the consistent use of protective helmets by both riders and passengers.

The campaign comes amid growing concerns about motorcycle accidents in Ghana. According to figures from the Ministry of Transport, motorcycle crashes accounted for 1,345 of the 2,949 road fatalities recorded in 2025, representing nearly 46 per cent of all road deaths that year.

The situation has remained concerning in 2026. Data from the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service indicate that between January and September 2026, the country recorded 2,151 road crash deaths and 12,230 injuries. As part of the first phase, Big Ghun and the Betfox Ghana team paid a courtesy visit to the Ashaiman District Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police Orlando Joseph Adzokpa.

During the engagement, the team donated protective helmets to the police department to support local road safety awareness efforts. The organisers subsequently moved into the streets of Ashaiman to distribute helmets directly to motorcycle riders, while educating them on the importance of wearing appropriate protective equipment and observing road safety regulations.

Although the initial target is to distribute more than 3,000 helmets, the partners intend to extend the campaign to other communities in Greater Accra before expanding to additional regions across Ghana.

Big Ghun indicated that upcoming locations would be announced through his social media platforms. He also expressed willingness to expand the distribution beyond the initial target if additional resources become available.

The campaign highlights the importance of combining public education with practical interventions to protect motorcycle riders and passengers. Its organisers hope the initiative will encourage a stronger road safety culture and help prevent avoidable deaths on Ghana’s roads.
