Controversial Ghanaian boxer, Braimah Kamoko, alias Bukom Banku is preceding a juicy fighting deal that he recently signed with a campaign for wee smoking to be legalized in Ghana.
Banku, in a video, makes a clarion call on President Akufo-Addo to legalize recreational Marijuana because the youth in Ghana’s ghettos are “crying” for the stuff nicknamed ‘Abonsam Tawa’ (devil’s tobacco).
“His Excellency, Nana Akufo-Addo, say something: All the ghetto youth are crying and complaining. Legalise the Ganja in the country. Look at America and Jamaica, it’s legalised there,” Bukom Banku said in a video shared on Facebook by musician Wisa Greid.
Smoking Ganja is currently illegal in Ghana. The country only recently passed a law to legalize the commercial cultivation of hemp for industrial purposes.
Meanwhile, Bukom Banku has signed a three-match boxing deal worth some GHc600, 000.
The deal comes after the former WBO Africa Light Heavyweight champion signed a contract with local promotional giant Box Office Promotions.
The three-fight deal, which was signed on Sunday at the Alisa Hotel, will see Bukom Banku earn GHc200, 000 per fight.
