Ghanaian Chef, Ebenezer Smith, was arrested for allegedly forging a Guinness World Record certificate in marathon cooking.

A Ghanaian chef, Ebenezer Smith, also known as Millennium Chef Smith, has been arrested and detained at the La Police Station for falsifying a Guinness World Record for marathon cooking.

This comes after Chef Smith announced at a press conference held at the La Palm Hotel on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, that he is the new cook-a-thon record holder, presenting as proof a certificate. He claimed to have set a new record of 802 hours and 25 minutes, starting on February 1 and concluding on March 6, 2024.

“I am deeply humbled and honored to announce that I am now the new world record holder for the cook-a-thon,” he said.

The inscription on his certificate reads: “The longest cooking marathon (individual) is 802 hours 25 minutes and was achieved by Ebenezer Smith (Ghanaian) in Spintex, Accra, Ghana. From 1 February to 6 March, 2024.”
