The Police have said that the result of the psychiatric examination of Funny Face would decide the next course of action to be taken by the Police against him.
This was after the court ordered him to be examined at a psychiatric hospital.
Today, October 20, 2021, the Kaneshie District Court in Accra sent Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, commonly known as Funny Face, to a Psychiatric Hospital for medical examination.
This is in response to the Police requesting a psychiatric assessment following his detention on Monday, October 18th, 2021, on a preliminary allegation of death threat.
The outcome of the psychiatric examination will decide the Police’s next course of action.
We continue to appreciate the public’s assistance in maintaining law and order.
On Monday night, he was detained for reportedly threatening specific people on social media.
On Sunday, Funny Face lashed out on social media at many major entertainment figures, including Fada Dickson and Bola Ray, and threatened to murder his ex-lover Vanessa.
He also slammed former African Footballer of the Year Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayor, who was a close ally of his until last year.
However, the threats were so serious that the one-time musician was apprehended at 10:14 p.m. Monday and is being regarded as a “suspect.”
“Due to the history of the suspect, the police shall submit Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng to the court for an order for psychiatric examination, to determine the next line of investigative action,” the police stated on Monday.
“The police is committed to protecting lives with the generous help of the public.”
“We want to assure the public that we shall not take anything for granted in the interest of public safety.”
