Actor and comedian Funny Face has opened up about a period in his life when he says he leaned heavily on the support of former Inspector-General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, both emotionally and financially.
Speaking in an interview with Vida Adutwumwaa, he recounted how the former police chief repeatedly urged him to focus on his health and personal stability. According to him, Dampare was direct about the consequences of neglecting himself, especially as he was navigating a painful divorce and other personal difficulties.
Funny Face said those conversations became a turning point for him during what he describes as one of his most fragile moments, helping him stay grounded while dealing with his struggles.
He revealed that beyond advice, he also received consistent financial assistance for an extended period. At his lowest point, he said the former IGP ensured he was supported monthly for more than a year, with funds reportedly used for medical care and daily essentials.
“At a point things were very rough so it was Dampare who was taking care of me. Dampare was sending me money every month. I did it for over a year. There was a police officer in charge who sent it to me or even sometimes I went to the Police Headquarters for it myself,” he shared.
He expressed deep appreciation for the support, saying it played a key role in his recovery process, even though he had long chosen to keep the story private out of respect for the former IGP.
“For my healing, I will forever appreciate him. He wouldn’t be happy I am mentioning his name out here, but I have kept it for long,” he added.
Funny Face also touched on stricter moments during that same period, including instances where he says Dampare disciplined him, at one point involving custody, which he believes was part of efforts aimed at helping him regain stability.
