Comedian/actor Benson Nana Yaw Oduro popularly known as Funny Face has been arrested by the police for issuing threats against the mother of his three children Vanessa and some other individuals.

A statement issued on the Ghana Police Service's social media pages indicated that Funny Face was arrested at 10:14 p.m. on Monday, October 18.

In a video that went viral on social media last weekend, Funny Face hurled abuse at Vanessa and some personalities including Fadda Dickson of Peace FM, footballer Emmanuel Adebayor and CEO of EIB Network, Nat Kwabena Adisi popularly known as Bola Ray.

He said some unprintable words and accused Vannessa and her mother of trying to extort money from him. He also said he wasn't afraid to die and he was going to kill her and kill himself afterwards.

The threats compelled the police to take action. In the statement, the police also indicated that due to Funny face's history, they would take him to court for an order for psychiatric examination which will enable them to determine their next line of action.
