Veteran film producer and director Socrate Safo is urging the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) to investigate the doctor responsible for comedian Funny Face's care during his struggle with mental health issues at the Psychiatric Hospital.

Safo asserts that it is the duty of the attending medical professional to provide recommendations after treating the comedian's mental health issues, including precautions he should observe.

He contends that if the doctor neglected to advise against Funny Face driving, they should be held responsible for any consequences, as it suggests the comedian had not fully recovered.

During an interview with Okay FM, which was monitored by GhanaWeb, Safo emphasized that he does not attribute Funny Face's accident to the comedian himself, but rather to the medical professionals involved in his care.

“I will not blame the whole problem on Funny Face but I will blame it on the system. Because once you are taken to the hospital and you have a certified doctor who treats and diagnoses you, there are some recommendations he/she has to make.

“There are things that by law you have to do; one is, if you are a driver, you shouldn’t drive again because it [mental issues] could come at any time and you can’t control it. If we don’t have that report, then the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) should question the doctor who handled him,” he said.

About Funny Face’s accident

Funny Face was involved in a gory accident at Kasoa, located in the Central Region.

He was said to have knocked down five people at a place known as Kakraba Junction.

Among the victims were a mother and her two children and two other motorcyclists whom he hit after the impact.

On March 24, 2024, reports indicated that he was intoxicated and driving at excessive speed resulting in the incident.

Accra-based UTV posted a video from the scene showing Funny Face being led away while others swarmed the vehicle that he was reportedly driving in.

He has been embroiled in a messy relationship issue in recent years with his baby mama, which the issues led a court to refer him for psychological evaluation.

He is also on record to have admitted to battling depression at a point.

In recent rants, he attacked his baby mama on social media, accusing her of scheming to take their three children away from him forever.
