An aunt of Daddy Lumba has made a shocking claim.
On February 17, 2026, Nana Afia Kobi addressed reporters, voicing frustration over claims of a deliberate decision to sideline close relatives. She said neither she nor several family members have been allowed to view Lumba’s body, nor have they been told where he was buried. In her view, the situation is without precedent and deeply embarrassing for the family.
“Abusuapanyin disappointed us, and it’s a big disgrace to us, the family. I’ve never seen or heard before that someone will die and we can’t see his body till date,” she said.
According to her, the uncertainty surrounding his burial has compounded the family’s grief. She suggested that some relatives are battling emotional and spiritual distress as they try to cope with the loss.
“We are really suffering. When you’re sleeping, he would just be on you. His ghost keeps tormenting us. We are pleading to everyone to put us into prayers,” she stated.
She also pointed to growing divisions within the extended family. While some appear content with how events have unfolded, others remain dissatisfied and are demanding transparency.
“There’s a lot going on and everyone has something to say. For us, we are behind the truth. Since the family is divided, some are happy and others too are sad,” she shared.
Nana Afia Kobi stressed that her presence before the media was not casual. Despite her busy schedule, she said she felt a responsibility to speak up, driven by her affection for the family. She took a moment to thank members of the public who have shown solidarity during the difficult period.
“I’m a busy person, but I’m here because of the love I have for the family. Some of you are not family members, but we’ve seen the love you’ve been showing us and we appreciate you all,” she said.
She maintained that the matter will not be abandoned and that efforts to obtain clarity will continue.
“We will try as much as we can no matter what, to find Daddy Lumba’s body,” Nana Afia Kobi further stated.
