Ernestina Fosu (L) has debunked claims about the court injunction on Lumba’s (R) second funeral
Following an earlier confirmation by Dominic Kwadwo Osei of Baba Jamal & Associates that an Accra High Court had granted the Lumba family head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, leave to file an injunction against Akosua Serwaa and others organising a “second funeral” in honour of the late Highlife legend, new details have emerged.
In a statement, Ernestina Fosu, elder sister of the late Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, debunked the claims.
According to her, there is no injunction on the funeral ceremony, and she urged individuals spreading such narratives to desist.

“It has come to our attention that some individuals, including certain social media commentators and comedians, are spreading claims that the upcoming Celebration of Life, even in Accra, has been halted due to a possible injunction.
“We wish to state clearly and unequivocally that this is false. There is no injunction stopping the event. The Celebration of Life of Daddy Lumba will proceed as planned,” she said.
