Chef Smith, the purported Guinness World Record (GWR) holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, has been released from police custody without charges, 3news.com reports.

His manager, Benny Benjamine, was also released after spending a night at the La Police station.

Chef Ebenezer Smith, popularly known as Chef Smith, achieved an impressive 802 hours and 25 minutes of cooking to set the record.

They were apprehended by officers from the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel on Tuesday, July 2, shortly after Chef Smith announced to the press that he had set a new Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.

According to Benny Benjamine, Chef Smith's manager, the arrest was instigated by Ghanaian musician Nana Borro, who claimed to have sponsored Chef Smith's cook-a-thon challenge and demanded the return of his sponsorship.

Benjamin stated that Nana Borro and an official from Amadia Shopping Centre brought the police to their press conference, leading to the arrest.
