Comedian and actor Funny Face, also known as Benson Nana Oduro, physically bathed in the sea as a gesture of leaving behind recent troubles and starting afresh.
Following his release on bail with a sum of GH₵120,000 and two sureties on April 9, Funny Face paused to contemplate the circumstances surrounding his arrest on March 24th. This arrest came after he was involved in a drunk driving incident that led to an accident with five pedestrians.
In an emotional interview with Kofi TV, Funny Face shared, “I have caused problems for myself. All that I went through, I cannot blame anybody. I am the major cause of my problem. At times you do things and people get tired of your actions, that is the level I have gotten to but nobody will understand what you are going through.
“Not everyone can survive what I have been through, If I have been able to go through all these unfortunate events and God has kept me alive, I thank Ghanaians. In this life it is only God.”
He continued, “I feel like cleansing myself with the sea and speak to Jehovah one-on-one. I felt I should come and do this to give Glory to God. I have to do this to speak to God and ask him to give me back the favor he gave me…Ghanaians should forgive me and give me another chance.”
Despite a challenging period since his breakup with Vanessa in 2021, characterized by public outbursts, legal entanglements, and difficulties in accessing his children, Funny Face remains optimistic about starting anew. He is resolute in his determination to overcome adversity through hard work and perseverance.
