Bullgod Transforms Ghana's Harsh Police Cells With Inspiring Murals
Music manager and media personality Bullgod has launched an art project to improve conditions in police cells across Ghana. Called Adopt a Cell, the initiative aims to bring comfort to detained individuals through murals and graffiti. His own difficult experiences in custody inspired the campaign.
Bullgod spent 72 hours in a Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) cell, which he described as the 'worst ever'. He recalled issues like bad odours, no water, and poor hygiene. These conditions, he believes, are harsher than in prisons due to overcrowding and the inability to move freely.
The project involves painting walls with images of hope, peace, and religious quotes. So far, 150 police cells in Ghana have been transformed with murals or graffiti. Work has already begun at Adabraka police station, with plans to expand to every cell in the country.
The Adopt a Cell initiative seeks to make police detention more bearable through art. Bullgod's personal experience drove the project, which now covers dozens of cells nationwide. Further expansions are expected as the campaign continues.
