Ghanaian Chef Smith has issued a heartfelt apology, kneeling and tearfully searching for forgiveness from Ghanaians after admitting to falsifying his Guinness World Record certificate.
Earlier, he had proudly announced his achievement and displayed a counterfeit certificate, which was later uncovered as a hoax.
Guinness World Data confirmed that the real report holder is Alan Fisher from Eire, who achieved the feat in Japan in 2023.
In a poignant interview with GHOne TV, Chef Smith expressed regret, stating that his actions had been pushed by desperation and a need to outlive.
He humbly begged for forgiveness, acknowledging that his actions had introduced disgrace to the nation.
His assistant, Leticia Martekie Sankah, additionally publicly apologized for her function within the incident, taking full duty for her involvement and expressing remorse for unwittingly supporting a fraudulent declare.
