God bless the Ghana Police for curing my depression: Funny Face.

Funny Face said, “The Ghana Police beat the despair out of me.”

Funny Face, a well-known Ghanaian comedian and actor, had a difficult time in the latter half of 2021 and the beginning of 2022 after suffering from severe depression that landed him in a mental hospital.

He claimed that after receiving hard slaps from Ghana Police Service officers, he was able to overcome his despair.

Funny Face, whose true name is Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, the “Children’s President,” gained national attention after suffering from trauma and melancholy as a result of his several failed marriages and being denied access to his twin daughters, Ella and Bella.
