She also said that he was questioned regarding their ongoing court case, which accused him of misappropriating funeral funds.
“Today, the police invited Abusuapanin to Accra to answer some questions, which you can ask him about, if only he would be honest. The process we are going through has led him there, in regard to the investigation into [Daddy Lumba’s] death and autopsy and the court case regarding the funeral. Akosua Brempomaa reported him to the police,” she told Akwasi Aboagye on Peace FM.

Ernestina Fosuh sues Abusuapanin over funeral funds
After the death of Ghanaian highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, on July 26, 2025, an acrimonious family feud has emerged within his family over which of his two wives, Akosua Serwaa or Odo Broni, should be recognised as his sole legal spouse and be allowed to perform widowhood rites at his funeral.
A parallel feud about who should have the power to organise his funeral has emerged, pitting his sister Ernestina Fosuh against family head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu.
On December 5, Daddy Lumba’s immediate family, including Ernestina Fosuh, his uncle Wofa Yaw Opoku, and others, filed a court case against his family head to stop the late singer's funeral, currently scheduled for December 13.
The plaintiffs accused Abusuapanin, who is not a direct relative of the late singer, of organising the funeral without their involvement despite their familial proximity to him.
They also accused him of misusing funds raised for his funeral.
On November 19, Ernestina Fosuh reported Abusuapanin to the Kumasi Central Police for alleged misappropriation of Lumba's funeral funds.
It's currently unclear if the alleged interrogation by police in Accra is related to the ongoing police case in Kumasi.
Below is an Instagram post with details of the lawsuit against Abusuapanin.
