L-R: The Abusuapanyin, Daddy Lumba and Ernestina Fosu
Tension within the family of the late Ghanaian highlife legend Daddy Lumba continues to escalate following the ongoing dispute surrounding his funeral arrangements.
After the filing of a report on an application for directions and a subsequent case management conference held today, Friday, October 31, 2025, the musician’s sister, Ernestina Fosu, has furiously dared their family head, Kofi Owusu, to try and bury her brother without the siblings’ consent or knowledge of what truly caused his death.
In a viral video seen online, an emotionally charged Ernestina Fosu is seen venting her frustration and anger over what she described as the unfair and disrespectful treatment meted out to her and her siblings by their Abusuapanyin, who also happens to be their uncle.
She claimed that despite several private confrontations, her uncle has remained adamant and continues to make secret plans to bury their late brother in December, ignoring the family’s calls for clarity.
“I have already told him in private, he should dare and bury him without us knowing the cause of his death and see what will happen,” Ernestina fumed.
She was also heard saying: “He is trying to bury my brother like a dog for reasons best known to him. We deserve to know what killed our brother before any burial is done.”
In her outburst, she went further to evoke Otumfuo’s great vow, challenging her uncle to go ahead with the burial if he truly considers himself a man.
“If he says he is a man, he should go ahead and bury him on December 6, 2025. I’m invoking Otumfuo’s vow on this matter,” she declared.
