Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng aka Funny Face

Court commits comedian Funny Face to psychiatric hospital for 2 weeks
An Accra court has committed comedian Benson Nana
Yaw Oduro Boateng to the psychiatric hospital for
two weeks.

The Ofaakor Circuit Court presided by Ebenezer
Osei Darko has ordered Ghana Police to send Funny
Face to Accra Psychiatric Hospital explaining that
he does not sound normal.

The judge said Funny Face may be having a mental
crisis and possibly going through depression.

Last Monday, the comedic act was arrested by the
police in Kasoa for unlawfully discharging a
firearm at a drinking pub.



The Central Regional Police PRO, DSP Irene Serwaa
Oppong said someone had reported Funny Face for
causing a disturbance in a bar.

She stated that their investigations reveal the
actor, born Benson Oduro Boateng, had gone to the
bar where a misunderstanding ensued between him
and the owner.

Although the two were separated, Funny Face went
home, returned with a gun and fired warning
shots.

Adom News’ Kofi Adjei who was in court reported
that Funny Face first pleaded guilty to unlawfully
discharging a firearm in a public place.

However, the judged noticed some incoherence in
Funny Face’s account of events thus asked the
actor if he was sound of mind.

Funny Face claimed that the slaps he had taken
during his arrest affected him, so, he has some
challenges mentally.

Kofi Adjei reported that the judge asked the
police to take him to the hospital and seize his
gun.

He also ruled that Funny Face should be allowed to
drive for the next two weeks.
