Ghana Police CID and other authorities are probing Daddy Lumba’s death
The family secretary on behalf of Akosua Serwaa and Ernestina Fosuh has confirmed that a formal investigation is underway to determine the cause of the late Highlife legend’s death.
In a statement dated October 27, 2025, and issued by the family secretary on behalf of Daddy Lumba’s wife, Akosua Serwaa, and his elder sister, Ernestina Fosuh, the family disclosed that they are working with the Ghana Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and other relevant authorities to uncover the truth behind the musician’s death.
The statement mentioned that the family’s intention is not to stir controversy but to seek clarity, justice, and the preservation of Daddy Lumba’s legacy.
We received three conflicting accounts about Lumba’s death – Akosua Serwaa alleges
“The family also wishes to reassure the public that a formal investigation is currently ongoing to determine the actual cause of death of the late Charles Kwadwo Fosuh. The family remains committed to uncovering the full truth, in cooperation with the Ghana Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and other relevant authorities.
“As Mrs Fosuh and the entire family have consistently maintained, the goal is not conflict, but clarity, justice, and the preservation of the truth and dignity of their beloved husband, brother, and icon, Daddy Lumba,” the statement read.
Previously, in a petition dated October 13, 2025, and also signed by the family secretary, the two women disclosed that they had received three conflicting accounts regarding what transpired before the legend’s death, one from an eyewitness, another from the police and coroner, and a third from Odo Broni, the woman believed to have been living with Daddy Lumba at the time.
According to them, these inconsistencies have left the family uncertain about the events that led to his passing.
They have since called for a transparent and thorough investigation to ensure that the truth is established and the memory of the late musician is honoured with integrity.
