Bullgod Recounts His Detention Experience Following The Fennec Okyere Case

Veteran artiste manager and music executive, Bullgod has spoken candidly about his arrest and prolonged time in police custody following investigations into the murder of late music executive Fennec Okyere, describing the experience as traumatic and deeply unjust.

Speaking during the Big Convo, Bullgod explained that long-standing professional disagreements and public commentary within the music industry were later linked to the police investigation, leading to his arrest despite his voluntary cooperation with authorities.

According to him, he was detained at the Cantonment Police Station for over a month without legal representation, exceeding the constitutionally mandated 48-hour detention limit.

“At the time, I felt I had nothing to hide, so I didn’t think I needed a lawyer,” he said. “That was ignorance. I know better now.”

Following his release on bail, Bullgod revealed that he remained under a committal process for four years, reporting to court monthly while police investigations continued.

Despite the prolonged legal process, he noted that no evidence was ultimately presented against him.

“I was discharged, not acquitted,” Bullgod explained. “That means I’m still technically considered a suspect.”

He described the emotional and psychological toll of living under suspicion, dealing with restricted movement, public scrutiny and reputational damage, all without a formal conviction.

Bullgod’s account highlights broader concerns about due process and the impact of prolonged investigations on individuals who have not been found guilty by a court.
