The head of Daddy Lumba's family, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, has reportedly been fined by the chiefs at the Manhyia Palace after a recent hearing.

The fine follows the invocation of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II's great oath (ntamkese), by Ernestina Fosu, the elder sister of the late musician.

Recall that on October 31, 2025, Ernestina Fosu clashed with Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu at the Kumasi High Court after both parties appeared to file all necessary legal processes for a Case Management Conference.

The conference pertained to the suit Daddy Lumba's first wife, Akosua Serwaa, had filed to be recognised as the only surviving wife of the late musician.

At the court premises, Ernestina questioned Kofi Owusu over his decision to hold a funeral without conducting an autopsy on her late brother.

She invoked Otumfuo's Great Oath to seek the intervention of the Asantehene and stop the Abusuapanin from going ahead with the funeral, which is scheduled for December 6, 2025.

Watch Ernestina Fosu's invocation of Otumfuo's oath against the Abusuapanin below:

The parties appeared before Otumfuo's Sumankwahene in Kumasi on Monday, November 3, 2025, and were told to go and settle the matter as a family and bring feedback on Friday, November 7.

Following their meeting with the Sumankwahene, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu seemingly decided to make peace with his niece, Ernestina, and end all hostilities.

In a video, the family head and Daddy Lumba's elder sister beamed with smiles as they shared a warm embrace.

Kofi Owusu kissed his niece on the cheek to signify that he and Ernestina had settled their differences, in the presence of many bloggers who captured the moment on camera.

While that public display suggested that the two had settled their differences, Ernestina insisted that nothing was settled, and she was waiting for their next appearance before the chiefs.

Daddy Lumba's Abusuapanin fined two sheep

At the Friday hearing, the family head is reported to have been cited for making false claims, which necessitated the invocation by Ernestina.

According to Hello FM, he was thus fined two sheep.

In a video shared on the Kumasi-based station's Instagram page, two sheep, purportedly being the payment of Abusuapanin Owusu's fine, were offloaded from a tricycle and pushed into the Manhyia Palace premises.
