The Manhyia Palace has announced that the final funeral rites of the late highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, have been rescheduled to December 13, instead of the initially planned date of December 6.
The decision followed a meeting at the Otumfuo Saamanhene Palace on November 10 during which a new funeral committee, chaired by Dadiesoabahene, was appointed to oversee the arrangements.
At the meeting, Daddy Lumba’s sister, Ernestina Akosua Brempomaa, requested a postmortem, expressing concerns about potential foul play in her brother’s death. She further asked that the burial and funeral be postponed until the results were available to determine the exact cause of death.
The Chiefs confirmed that the police would handle the postmortem, and set December 13 as the date for Daddy Lumba’s funeral. They also urged the family to remain united and ensure a dignified farewell for the celebrated musician.
Regarding the invocation of the Great Oath, Akosua Brempomaa, who performed the ritual, has been pardoned by the Asantehene but was cautioned to avoid such actions in the future.
Daddy Lumba passed away in the early hours of Saturday, July 26, at the Bank Hospital in Accra, where he was said to have been receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness.
