Evangelist Papa Shee has dismissed the widespread reports suggesting that the funeral of Daddy Lumba will be held this Saturday, stating emphatically that the family has approved no official date.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Papa Shee clarified that, to the best of his knowledge and according to the musician’s family, the funeral is expected to take place in March next year—not December as speculated.
“To my knowledge, and according to the family, the funeral will take place in March,” he said.
He further revealed that an attempt by some individuals claiming to be organizers of the funeral to present drinks and invitations at the Manhyia Palace on Wednesday was reportedly rejected.
“Yesterday they went to the Manhyia Palace and they were turned away. How can they proceed with the funeral if their drinks and invitations were rejected?” he questioned.
Papa Shee also disclosed that the committee previously established to oversee Daddy Lumba’s funeral arrangements has long been dissolved. According to him, this makes current claims of planning activities questionable and unauthorized.
“The so-called funeral committee has been dissolved. The planning committee for Daddy Lumba’s funeral was dissolved long ago, so who exactly is claiming to plan the funeral now?” he added.
His statements have stirred fresh debate among fans and industry stakeholders, many of whom are now seeking clarity regarding the official arrangements for the late highlife legend’s final rites.
