Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Accra, Nov. 01- Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng a. k. a. Funny Face who allegedly threatened to kill his ex-wife, girlfriend and commit suicide, on Instagram, has been admitted to a GH\u00a220,000 bail with two sureties.<\/p>\n

The Kaneshie District Court also ordered Benson to report to the Police twice a week. The matter has been adjourned to November 24. Benson has been discharged by the Accra Psychiatric hospital after undergoing two medical examinations.<\/p>\n

He was expected to appear before the Court on November 10, this year. However due to the discharge, accused was sent to court today and full medical report on him submitted accordingly.<\/p>\n

The Court presided over by Oheneba Kuffour on October 20 this year, ordered a psychiatric examination on Benson aka Funny face at the Accra Psychiatric Hospital. He was also ordered to undergo substance abuse examination at the Police Hospital in Accra.<\/p>\n

It urged Funny Face aged 40, to stay away from social media for a month. Funny Face, a comedian, charged with threat of death, had his plea reserved by the Court. Benson\u2019s ex-wife’s name was given as Lizzy. His girlfriend is called Vanessa. However, the facts of the matter were read out in open court.<\/p>\n

Prosecuting Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sylvester Asare informed the Court that Benson had been discharged by the Accra Psychiatric hospital and a full report submitted on (him) accused.<\/p>\n

ASP Asare at the last sitting said \u201cour suspicion is that accused\u2019s action may be influenced by narcotic substances.\u201d The facts as narrated by ASP Asare are that accused is a comedian, actor and musician residing at Millennium City at Kasoa(Odupon) in the Central Region.<\/p>\n

ASP Asare said accused was married to one Lizzy but they broke up in 2017. In 2020, accused got engaged to one Vanessa and they had twins. ASP Asare said in February this year, Vanessa fled with their twins after they broke up, to an unknown destination.<\/p>\n

Prosecution said on October 17, this year, accused took to his Instagram page and threatened to kill his ex-wife, Lizzy, and girlfriend Vanessa and commit suicide.<\/p>\n

The Prosecutor said accused in his caution statement blamed his action on depression and his failure to take his prescribed drugs given by a psychiatric hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cProsecution suspects the accused person is mentally unstable and pleading with this honourable court to give an order for the accused person to be re-examined and report,\u201d ASP Asare said.<\/p>\n
