Betfox Ghana and Big Ghun Launch Drive to Give Out 3,000 Helmets

Betting company Betfox Ghana has teamed up with filmmaker and rapper Big Ghun on a road safety campaign that aims to put more than 3,000 motorcycle helmets into the hands of riders across Ghana, as first reported by Citi News.

The initiative began in Ashaiman, in the Greater Accra Region, where the partners say they plan to start before moving to other parts of the country.

Big Ghun, who is described as an award-winning filmmaker, rapper and creative personality, is the public face of the effort.

The campaign comes amid concern over the number of people killed and injured in motorcycle crashes. According to figures highlighted by the Ministry of Transport, motorcycle crashes accounted for 1,345 of the 2,949 road deaths recorded in Ghana in 2025, close to 46 per cent of the total.

Data from the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service show that between January and September 2026, the country recorded 2,151 deaths and 12,230 injuries from road crashes.

Many Ghanaians depend on motorcycles to earn a living and to move around, and the organisers say their aim is to help more riders get home safely to their families.

At the start of the first phase, Big Ghun and the Betfox Ghana team called on the Ashaiman District Police Commander, DSP Orlando Joseph Adzokpa. During that visit, the team presented a number of helmets to the police as part of efforts to promote safer motorcycle use and raise awareness of road safety in the community.

The team then went onto the streets of Ashaiman, handing helmets directly to riders.

Beyond the giveaway, the organisers say the campaign is intended to promote responsible riding, a better understanding of road safety rules and regular helmet use by both riders and their passengers. They also hope it will encourage other individuals, institutions and companies to support efforts to protect lives on Ghana's roads.

The partners plan to take the campaign to more communities in Greater Accra before expanding to other regions. Big Ghun has promised to announce upcoming locations on his social media platforms ahead of each visit, so that riders know when the team will be in their area.

He has also indicated he is willing to work with the partners to go beyond the initial target of 3,000 helmets if there is a need and more resources become available.
