L-R: The Abusuapanyin, Daddy Lumba and Ernestina Fosu
New details surrounding the demise of Ghana’s Highlife legend, Daddy Lumba, have emerged after the elder sister of the late musician, Ernestina Akosua Brempongmaa, and the family head, Kofi Owusu, appeared at Manhyia Palace.
It may be recalled that on October 31, 2025, Akosua Brempongmaa invoked “Otumfuo’s Ntam Kese” on the Abusuapanin at the premises of the Kumasi High Court after she accused him of maltreatment and also organising the musician’s burial ceremony without her knowledge.
Following the oath, the two appeared before Otumfuo’s Saamanhene, Nana Buabasa, on November 3, 2025.
In a recent development, a video of the late musician’s elder sister is making waves online after she spoke to the media following their meeting at Manhyia Palace.
Ernestina Akosua Brempongmaa, in the media interaction, detailed the outcome of the meeting.
According to her, Otumfuo’s chiefs have asked them to settle the issue amicably at home, adding that they are to submit the outcome on Friday.
“The chiefs have asked my uncle and me to go home and settle the issues amicably. So I am yet to go home and meet my uncle so we can settle the issue peacefully. They also said we should come back on Friday with the outcome, but I want to state that I am not giving up on the demands,” she said.

Akosua Brempongmaa further noted that, no matter what, an autopsy should be conducted on the late Highlife musician, so the family can ascertain the cause of the musician’s death.
“… The autopsy would be done no matter what because it is a criminal investigation.”
She further debunked rumours circulating on social media that Otumfuo’s chiefs have given the go-ahead for the musician’s burial to come off on December 6, 2025.
“They didn’t say that the burial ceremony should happen on December 6. If we can settle the issue before 6, the burial will go on, but if we are not to do that and my wishes are not granted, there is no way the funeral would come off,” she added.
