Boxing star Bukom Banku grabbed control of the local Astroturf pitch without permission. He kicked out the official team previously appointed to run things last year. The famous fighter dared unhappy residents to complain directly to President Mahama since he claims he acts for the community's benefit.
Banku boldly declared himself the new caretaker—nobody could bully him. He told people they might report him to national leaders, but payments must come straight to him anyway. The retired boxer plans to collect money from all facility users. He stated that these funds would help maintain the sports ground for everyone. Banku insisted someone must manage the community park, but not just anybody deserves this role.
The unauthorized takeover happened recently after Banku decided the pitch needed new leadership. He appeared confident about his decision despite lacking formal authorization. Local authorities have not responded officially to his actions. The Astroturf facility serves as an important recreational space for Bukom residents. Community members remain divided about whether Banku's takeover benefits their neighborhood.
