Veteran Ghanaian boxer Braimah Kamoko, aka Bukom Banku, has met with Ghana's new IGP appointed by President Mahama.

After 30 bouts, out of which he won 29, with 21 being technical knockouts, Bukom Banku announced his retirement in 2023.

Despite retiring from boxing, Bukom Banku has kept his name alive with his hilarious online content.

With over 250k followers on TikTok, the retired boxer is one of the most followed sports-related personalities in Ghana.

Most of his content centres around his lifestyle in Bukom and his undying love for the New Democratic Congress and its leader, John Dramani Mahama, who became Ghana's president after the 2024 elections.

More often than not, he runs into celebrities and some top personalities who admire him for his humour and contribution to the boxing industry in Ghana.

Bukom Banku appeared to have travelled to Kwahu for Easter when he met the new IGP, appointed by Mahama on March 13, 2025. The new IGP succeeded Dr George Akuffo Dampare.

A day after he was appointed Bukom Banku shared a hilarious appeal questioning why Mahama did not choose him to be the new IGP.

IGP Yohuno, surrounded by many police officers, was catching a glimpse of paragliding action in Kwahu when Bukom Banku arrived.

In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, the renowned boxer immediately got closer to the new IGP to exchange pleasantries.
