An aunt of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba has expressed the family’s distress over their inability to access his body, describing the situation as painful and troubling.
Addressing the media on February 17, 2026, she expressed disappointment in the family head for preventing them from seeing Lumba’s body or knowing where he was buried.
“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 situation has left some family members emotionally distressed.
“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 noted that there is growing tension within the family, with different opinions about the matter.
“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.
The aunt emphasised that despite her busy schedule, she has made herself available out of love and commitment to the family.
“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 assured the public that the family will continue to pursue answers.
“We will try as much as we can no matter what, to find Daddy Lumba’s body,” she added.
