In a video shared on his official TikTok page on Thursday, Bukom Banku was seen in admission for medical treatment at the hospital.
The retired boxer, wearing a tracksuit with his potbelly visibly out of the attire, looked sad and frail as he lay on the bed with an IV (intravenous) drip inserted in his hand.
Bukom Banku slept on the hospital bed, speechless, while looking at the ceiling in the room.

He appealed to the veteran media broadcaster to explain why he was dismissed from the Accra-based TV station in 2020, claiming to have received an invitation for an interview at the station but being hesitant to go due to the incident.
Bukom Banku noted that he was demanding answers, not out of malice, but because he wanted Ghanaians to know the truth and judge the matter.
