Funny Face’s stay in Accra Psychiatric Hospital extended
The Ofaakor Circuit Court has extended Funny
Face’s stay and treatment in the Accra
Psychiatric Hospital by a month.

Adom News’ Kofi Adjei reported that the
extension was suggested by the doctor attending to
the actor, born Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng.

Speaking in court, the prosecutor said Funny
Face’s doctor had written a letter to the police
stating that the actor will be unable to appear in
court for his case.

The doctor stated that the actor was unfit adding
he was still having trouble articulating his
thoughts among others.



He added that Funny Face has been put on a strict
treatment that required enough rest.

The doctor in his letter pleaded with the court to
increase the number of days he should spend in the
hospital.

The court presided by Ebenezer Osei Darko approved
of Funny Face’s extended stay at the Accra
Psychiatric Hospital.

The case has been adjourned to April 1.

The comedic act is in court after he 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 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.

During the first hearing, the judge committed the
actor to the psychiatric hospital for two weeks.

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

Meanwhile, the comedian was reunited with his
daughters and their mother only known as Vanessa
while in the hospital.

Vanessa said, in the interview, that after seeing
Funny Face at the Psychiatric Hospital, she felt
the need to forget the past and move on.



She said that it is important she fixes her
relationship with Funny Face so their children can
continue to share a bond with their father.
