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.
