Renovate Nsawam Prisons for yourselves – Bullgod warns Nana Addo and appointees

Talent manager Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, popularly known as Bullgod, has reacted to the recent detention of protesters against illegal mining popularly known as galamsey.

Speaking UTV’s United Showbiz on Saturday, October 5, 2024, he stated that President Akufo-Addo and his appointees should prepare for life in jail after leaving office on January 7, 2025.

According to Bullgod, it is in the interest of the President and his appointees to ensure the Nsawam Medium Security Prison is renovated to accommodate them for their alleged corrupt practices and involvement in illegal mining, for which he warned they will be prosecuted.

...Starting from Nana Akufo-Addo to all the presidential staffers, I am giving you a job and the job is very simple; you see the three months that are left, if you know what is good for you, go and renovate Nsawam. Go and renovate Nsawam because that is where you will spend the rest of your life, Bullgod said.

He condemned the detention of the protester against illegal mining. He asserted that Ghanaians should be allowed stage demonstrations as there is no better time than this.

Calls on the government to ban galamsey

There has been growing pressure in recent times on the government to take decisive action against illegal mining.

The arrest and prosecution of some protesters against illegal mining two weeks ago have also escalated the pressure on the government.

On Saturday, October 5. 2024, hundreds of Ghanaians ended a three-day protest organised by the Citizens Coalition Against Illegal Mining.

Organised labour has also threatened a nationwide strike action as part of the calls to get the government to act. They have set October 10, 2024 to proceed with the strike, if their demands are not met. They argue that the government’s inaction on the issue of illegal mining has led to severe environmental degradation and has adversely affected the livelihoods of many communities.
