Two Ghanaians have hit the headlines for disturbing the peace while preparing their well cherished local dish which is light soup (Prekese) and fufu.
The fufu meal requires a preparation process of pounding with a pestle and mortar to bring out its original value and taste.
The two Ghanaians living on the 7th floor of a high rise building kicked against the law by pounding fufu which neighbours found offensive and then alerted the police.
The Ghanaians, after being dissatified with the processed fufu flour eaten in Europe over the years, during their recent visit to Ghana, managed to bring fufu mortar and pestle via KLM to Amsterdam last week. After they returned from work, they started their fufu pounding in their flat on the 7th floor.
According to police sources, about 15 neighbours who were being disturbed by the heavy pounding kept calling to report the nuisance.
Eventually when the police stormed the apartment, the two had finished pounding their fufu and were settled, ready to eat. They were arrested for nuisance a warning was not enough, because these same couple had already been warned 3 times, 2 for playing loud Amakye Dede songs at night and the other, for unnecessary car beeping when they drive pass their friends.
During the arrest, ScrewLife.Com is told the couple begged the police to allow them to at least finish eating their fufu and Prekese soup, with crabs swimming all over in the soup.
But the police refused because they did not have time to wait around. The two will soon appear before a judge with a short prison sentence and fine hanging around their necks.
