Ghanaian Boxer cum musician, Braimah Kamoko, popularly known as Bukom Banku,
was on Friday September 2, brought before a Circuit Court for assaulting a
hairdresser at Bukom in the Greater Accra Region, who reportedly refused him a
kiss. The boxer, whose career has taken a nosedive, damaged the
victim’s Nokia phone valued at GHc 40.
According to the police, Bukom
Banku entered the shop of the complainant, Martha Nelson, and demanded a kiss
from her. After her refusal to kiss him, the boxer allegedly slapped and
punched the lady.
After the physical assault, he snatched her phone
and crashed it on the ground. Bukom Banku subsequently said he
would replace her phone with a Galaxy. He is to reappear in court on Monday,
September 5.
This is the latest allegation of assault brought against the
controversial boxer who has had previous run-ins with the law but without any
of them ending in a prison term. In March 2016, he was arraigned and granted
bail for allegedly assaulting three women after one of them rejected his
request for sex.
Bukom Banku, in October 2015, also allegedly used a cutlass to
assault one Michael Abbey; a resident of Akoto Lantey in Accra, but he again
went scot-free. Further back in January 2015, he was also arrested for
allegedly inflicting physical harm on some persons after a
disagreement at the ‘Kpashimo’ procession at Gbese in Accra.
Bukom Banku pops
up at NDC campaign launch Bukom Banku, who was recently seen at the campaign
launch of the incumbent NDC in Cape Coast, has portrayed himself as a supporter
of the party, for which reason some believe he has been protected from
imprisonment for his actions.
