The court hearing of the case against controversial Ghanaian\u00a0boxer, Braimah Kamoko, also known as Bukom Banku, has been rescheduled to next Monday, September 12th.<\/p>\n

The boxer was arraigned for allegedly assaulting a hairdresser, and he appeared\u00a0in court around 8:00am Tuesday, to meet the absence of the trial Judge, Marian Afful, who was not available to adjudicate the matter.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”w88d76qMKWkR3F9RALDOy6UZJJ93xdwa”]It has been suggested that his early rush to court was to prevent the issuing of a bench warrant for his arrest.<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the police, Bukom Banku entered the shop of the complainant, Martha Nelson, and demanded a kiss from her.\u00a0After her refusal to kiss him, the boxer allegedly slapped and punched the lady.<\/p>\n

After the\u00a0physical\u00a0assault, he snatched her phone and crashed it on the\u00a0ground.\u00a0Bukom Banku\u00a0subsequently said he would replace her phone with a Galaxy.<\/p>\n

Bukom Banku’s history of assaults<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the latest allegation of assault brought against the controversial boxer who has had previous run-ins with the law, but without any of them ending in a prison term.<\/p>\n

In March 2016, he was arraigned and granted bail for allegedly\u00a0assaulting three women<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0after one of them rejected his request for sex.<\/p>\n

Bukom Banku, in October 2015, allegedly used a cutlass to assault one Michael Abbey; a resident of Akoto Lantey in Accra, but he again went scot-free.<\/p>\n

Further back in January 2015, he was also arrested for allegedly\u00a0inflicting physical harm<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0on some persons after a disagreement at the \u2018Kpashimo\u2019 procession at Gbese in Accra.<\/p>\n
