On December 5, 2025, the immediate family of the late Ghanaian musician Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, filed a lawsuit against Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, Transitions Funeral Home, and CAL Bank.
The plaintiffs, including Obaapanin Afia Adomah, Robert Gyamfi (Wofa Yaw Poku), Georgina Gyamfi, Ernestina Fosuh, and Nana Afia Kobi, filed the lawsuit to halt the planning of the late music legend’s funeral.
They accused the family head, popularly known on social media as Abusuapanin Tupac, of ignoring them and withdrawing money from a memorial account without permission.
In an application for an interlocutory injunction to stop the funeral, scheduled for December 13, the family said they had been sidelined from their relative’s funeral preparations.
On December 12, the Accra High Court initially granted the application, then later asked the plaintiffs to provide a GH₵2million guarantee in two hours.
After they failed to raise the amount, the judge lifted the injunction, allowing the funeral to proceed, but adjourned the case to January 15, 2026, for the adjudication of other issues.
Below is a Facebook post with details of the lawsuit.
