The court presided over by Mr Ebenezer Osei Darko found the explanation of the accused person incoherent, hence the order.
On Monday February 8 at about 0330 hours, Funny Face went to his usual drinking spot at Millennium City where a misunderstanding ensued between him and one Mr James Akariboro, the bar attendant, which led to a fight, the prosecution alleged.
