Ghanaian highlife legend, Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, died on July 26, 2025, after a short illness.
He fell sick at his home in East Legon and was rushed to the Bank Hospital in Cantonments, where he succumbed to his ailment.
A heated dispute emerged between members of his family after his death, pitting his family head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, and his second wife, Priscilla Ofori, against his first wife, Akosua Serwaa, and members of his immediate maternal family, led by Daddy Lumba’s sister, Ernestina Fosuh.
The immediate family objected to the date Abusuapanin had scheduled for his funeral, which was December 13, 2025, at Heroes Park in Kumasi.
As a last resort to stop the funeral, they filed a motion for an injunction at the Accra High Court.
On December 12, the judge initially granted the injunction and then recalled the parties, asking the maternal family to pay Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu GH₵ 2 million by 2 p.m. before the funeral could be stopped.
The deadline passed without a payment, paving the way for the funeral to be held.
Below is an Instagram post with details of the failed injunction.

Dek360 Ghana said the same issue prevented Serwaa Amihere, a noted good friend of both Daddy Lumba and Odo Broni, from attending.
He said if funeral preparations had been more certain, it would have seen numerous celebrities appear to pay their last respects to Daddy Lumba.
