In a statement signed by herself and other immediate family members of Daddy Lumba, they disputed the decision to hold the late singer’s funeral on December 13, 2025.
Ernestina Fosuh also accused Odo Broni of colluding with their family head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, to illegally withdraw funds from the funeral account.
She listed a litany of grievances against Odo Broni, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, and other members of the Daddy Lumba funeral committee, and stated multiple reasons why the current funeral date of December 13 was not feasible.
The statement was released following a heated day in the trial between Daddy Lumba's two wives, which ended with an alleged confrontation between Ernestina Fosuh’s children and relatives of Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu.
Below is the TikTok video of Ernestina Fosuh following the confrontation.
Ernestina Fosuh disputes Daddy Lumba’s funeral date
In the statement, which was released on November 24, Ernestina Fosuh and other immediate Daddy Lumba family members explained why holding the funeral on December 13 was not reasonable.
The reasons included:
- Children are writing critical exams
- Autopsy and Investigations are still ongoing
- Immediate family abroad must apply for leave
- International Friends and Community must have time to attend
“Some of the late Mr. Fosuh's children, who reside in Germany and other countries, are preparing for major academic examinations that determine their future educational paths. These children are already enduring the painful emotional shock of losing their father. Expecting them to combine grief with high-stakes examinations is cruel, unfair, and psychologically harmful,” it read.
The family expressed its dismay that the funeral date, which Otumfuo’s panel of chiefs had proposed and which had not been agreed to, was being used to plan a funeral when a final determination had not been made.
Ernestina Fosuh slams Odo Broni over funds
In another portion of the statement, the immediate family, led by Ernestina Fosuh, accused Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu of making unauthorised withdrawals from the funeral fund.
They said it had been agreed during the last Manhyia meeting to dissolve the funeral committee and form a new one, but that the Abusuapanin was still using members of the old committee to access the funds.
“Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu unlawfully withdrew GHS 200,000 from Cal Bank (East Legon) without the consent or knowledge of the direct family. The signatories who have been collaborating to withdraw funds are: Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu, Ms Priscilla Ofori (Odo Broni), Mr. Collins Owusu Amankwah.
