Actor Funny Face has taken to social media to express his displeasure at how police in Kasoa treated him during his arrest on Monday.
Taking to Instagram, he revealed that he was manhandled by the police during his arrest and then again at the police cells before he was remanded.
Funny Face, who broke down crying during his video post, said he was beaten with handcuffs and dragged on the floor at the Police Station.
He also alleged that he was beaten at the police cells where he stayed from Monday to Tuesday when he was bailed at around 3:00 pm.
"So I've been bailed out. I slept at the police cell yesterday...Now I'm an ex-convict. But the most painful and saddest truth I'm about to reveal is about Ghana Police.
"When they came to arrest me on a highway...It's not been easy for me. The moment I got down they crossed me! The way the beat me on Monday," he said emotionally.
Comparing himself to great men like Nelson Mandela and the J.J. Rawlings, Funny Face believes this is a testimony to his greatness and asked his fans to look out for what comes next.
"You know what, Nelson Mandela slept in prison before, J.J. Rawlings slept in prison before. All great men slept in prison before. Watch out for Funny Face to become great," he said pounding on his bare chest.
Comedian Funny Face was, on Monday, arrested by the police in Kasoa for unlawfully discharging a firearm at a drinking pub.
Speaking to JoyNews’ Richard Kojo Nyarko, the Central Regional Police PRO, DSP Irene Serwaa Oppong said the actor had gone to the bar where a misunderstanding ensued between him and the owner.
Although the two were separated, Funny Face went home, returned with a gun and fired warning shots, she revealed.
She explained that the team had struggled to cuff the actor because he had resisted arrest.
Meanwhile, Funny Face has shared a video of his arrest where the police were seen pulling him by the shirt to their vehicle.
The actor said he is currently focused on fighting for himself, his children and his baby mama Vanessa.
