Bukom Banku and wife eat Kenkey

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that retired professional boxer Bukom Banku shared a video of himself and his wife Akorkor Martha eating while seated on the floor.

In the video that went viral, they had a bowl of soup and a black rubber beside the bowl that contained the meal that looked like Kenkey.

Many people online wondered whether he did not make any money from boxing, and why he could not afford a good dining table set.
