Ghanaian chef exposed for forging Guinness World Record speaks regrettably on his actions.

Ebenezer Smith, A Ghanaian chef who was exposed for faking a Guinness World record cooking Marathon, came out to publicly declare his regrets and the fact that he does not deserve to live because of his evil actions.Smith was interviewed on Sunday when he made this public declaration.

Report have it that Smith was arrested by the police and detained at the La police Station for the crime of forging a fake Guinness world record cooking Marathon 

It was also reported that it was last Tuesday when Smith publicly presented a fake certificate at a press conference which claims him to be the new world record holder for an 820- hours 25 minutes cooking Marathon. Which he started on the first of February to the 6th of March , 2024

However, when the Public Relations Executive for GWR, Alina Polianskaya, came out to speak on the matter, he confirmed to the BBC that the certificate that Smith claimed was fake.

Polianskaya said, “No, this is not true at all. He does not hold the GWR title, and that is not our certificate. The current and true record holder is: The longest cooking marathon (individual) is 119hr 57 min 16 sec and was achieved by Alan Fisher (Ireland) in Matsue, Shimane, Japan, from 28 September to 3 October 2023.”

Currently, during an interview, smith was very sorry for his actions and how he felt disappointed by his actions.

“I’m not fine because of the news out there right now. I feel so disappointed in myself for disappointing the people of Ghana, my loved ones, and everybody around the world,” the chef said.

“As a young man growing up, I’ve been working for a couple of years in the hospitality industry, and I’ve always wanted a platform to showcase the good craft and skills that I have in me, because I’ve worked in a couple of places, both hotels and restaurants, and I feel like nothing is working out for me. I wanted a platform that I could get permanent something to do, which has to do with my profession – the culinary industry, hence the reason for this step.”

He also spoke extensively about how he embarked on the cookathon without a genuine application filed with GWR, he said, “After Hilda Baci, I’ve been thinking about it and then all of a sudden I decided, after Efya did her singathon. I decided to take a step. Tracking the history, it has always been a sequential one, like numbers with the application reference so I ended up with the application reference of Edus Safoa and then I built something for myself.

“I have read a lot about the Guinness World Record, it’s an application process. When you apply they will give you an application reference that would enable you to know who is a current record holder and the details prior to that; your time of break, the rules, and the guidelines. So apparently, I had read all that and gotten to know the rules, the guidelines and everything, but I don’t have an application with the Guinness World Record, I did not apply.”

“Like I said, I built it on Edus Safoa’s application reference. It’s not normal, it’s not logical, but it is done because if someone’s application is index number one, then somebody will be number 2.”

When he questioned  if he got permission from the owner of the GWR application reference he used, he said, “She has no idea.”

“I made a few approaches because there has always been one thing about me, to reach out to the less privileged and the vulnerable.”

When also asked what he had to say to the sponsors he deceived to get their sponsorship he noted, “Words won’t be enough. I feel like at this point in time, I give my life out to them to do to me as they wish. I don’t even deserve to live because it’s too much for me to bear.”
