Bukom Banku: I owe Ghanaians no apologies for faking my death
Light heavyweight boxer, Briama Kamoko, alias
Bukom Banku says he owes Ghanaians no apology for
faking his death.

According to him, he staged the act to test his
popularity in the country.

He told journalists after the incident that,
“the time they tell the Ghanaians that I am
dead, all the Ghanaians was crying. Now I see say
that all the Ghanaians like me too much... I see
say that I’m a big man in the nation [sic].”

When asked to apologise for falsifying his death,
Bukom Banku said, “This is not apologise. I tell
the Ghanaians that I dey die. I want to see the
people rushing in the nation and I see the people
rushing and people dey love me too much [sic].”

Last Friday it was reported that Bukom Banku had
been involved in an accident on the Accra-Kumasi
road but it turned out to be a hoax.
According to the report, fans of the boxer rushed
to his home at Bukom, a suburb of Accra to get
confirmation only to realize the news was a hoax.
