Former Light Heavyweight champion Braimah Kamoko well known as Bukom Banku has been remanded by an Accra Circuit court for allegedly stabbing a man.
The prosecutor reports that the boxer alongside some friends caused havoc and attacked others in Bukom on Friday, November 25th, 2022 at 5:30 pm.
The complainant, Ishmael Neequaye who is also a neighbor disclosed that the noise in the area woke him up from his sleep. He disclosed that he tried to restore calm.
However, the prosecutor stated that Bukom Banku upon seeing the complainant Ishamel Neequaye broke a bottle and gave it to his son identified as Mustapha to stab Ishmael. The son of Bukom thrust the broken bottle into the abdomen of the complainant who was later rushed to the Korle Bu teaching hospital.

The two pleaded not guilty but were denied bail by the presiding judge Justice Adelaide Abui Keddey.
The boxer and his son have been remanded to reappear on Monday, 19th December. However, the third accused Prosper Quaye, 32 is on the run.
