Ghanaian Chef, Ebenezer Smith, popularly known as Chef Smith has expressed regret over his counterfeit Guinness World Record (GWR) certificate.
At a press conference in Accra on Tuesday, Chef Smith claimed to be the current GWR holder for the longest individual cooking marathon, with a remarkable duration of 802 hours and 25 minutes.
However, verification with GWR revealed that the certificate presented by Chef Smith at the press conference does not originate from GWR.
GWR clarified, “The current and true current record holder is: The longest cooking marathon (individual) is 119 hr 57 min 16 sec and was achieved by Alan Fisher (Ireland) in Matsue, Shimane, Japan, from 28 September to 3 October 2023.”
In a conversation with Serwaa Amihere on GHOne TV, a tearful Chef Smith apologised to Ghanaians and the global community for the humiliation and his lies.
“I render a very big apology on this big platform, and I apologise to the world that I am so sorry. I don’t deserve to live. But in my quest to earn a living, it has landed me this way I am sorry, and I beg the entire nation,” he expressed.
