Ghanaian chef Ebenezer Smith, who recently claimed to have set a new World Record for the Longest Cooking Marathon, has been arrested on charges of fraud.



Smith asserted that he cooked continuously for 802 hours, spanning 33 days, and even presented a plaque he alleged was from Guinness World Records.


However, investigations revealed discrepancies in his claims and led to his arrest. The fraud charges also involve a contractual dispute with his sponsors, further complicating the situation.

It will be recalled that since the Nigerian-born chef, Hilda Bachi set the Guinness world record last year for the longest cooking marathon, a lot of individuals have attempted to displace her, which an Indian cook officially did last year.
