The Guinness World Records has said that it will review Ghanaian chef, Failatu Abdul-Razak’s evidence as she ended her cook-a-thon attempt after hitting 227 hours in 10 days of cooking.   

GWR acknowledged the record attempt of Failatu who competed to dethrone the Irish chef, Alan Fisher who dethroned Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci, in November 2023 as the holder of the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon record.

Fisher was confirmed on November 7, 2023, as the world record holder after he cooked for 119 hours and 57 minutes, beating Baci’s previous record by more than 24 hours.

Failatu started her attempt on New Year’s Day at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale and cooked for 227 hours.

It was gathered that throughout the cooking session, Abdul-Razak prepared a diverse array of dishes.

The achievement was praised by supporters at the venue as the stopwatch hit the 227th hour on Wednesday.

GWR’s reaction to the marathon session posted on its X (formerly Twitter) handle, “We look forward to reviewing her evidence!”

Away from cook-a-thons and world records, Uti Nwachukwu has broken his silence, following allegations of impersonation and fraud.

This comes after an American man known as Chef Anthony Thomas took to social media to call out Uti Nwachukwu, a well-known figure in Nigerian media, accusing him of using his identity to deceive followers on Instagram.

Chef Anthony took to X, formerly Twitter to make this hefty accusation, claiming that he caught the media personality when he called him on Instagram.

According to the chef, Uti had created an Instagram account in his name and impersonated him, using a number of his images in order to get gift cards from friends.

Reacting to the Chef’s allegations, Uti took to his Instagram stories to share a throwback clip made on October 19. The OAP claimed that the video is one of those used to scam people online.

Uti emphatically stated that he was impersonated, debunking the allegations made by the Chef.
