On Tuesday, March 10, a purported letter from the Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse's office emerged on social media, summoning Abusuapanin Tupac to appear before the Overlord Wor-Lumor Konor Nuumo Borkete Larweh Tsuru over claims of burying Daddy Lumba at his residence in Accra.
On Thursday, March 12, the Ga traditional leaders appeared at the Gborbu-Wulomo’s office in anticipation of their meeting with Daddy Lumba’s family head; however, after hours of waiting, he failed to show up, sparking anger and irritation among the leaders.
Addressing the media, Reverend Dr Jesse Ankrah, a reported spokesperson of the community, said Abusuapanin Tupac’s actions had breached Ga law, customs, and traditions.
He explained that under the Ga-Adangbe culture, there are places in the community designated for burial, and no one was allowed to bury people outside those boundaries.
He added that in extraordinary cases, rituals needed to be performed for that rule to be breached. Reverend Ankrah said that due to Abusuapanin Tupac’s failure to honour their invite, the next step of action would be to storm Daddy Lumba’s East Legon residence to exhume the body for the necessary rites to be performed to purify the land.
He said the traditional leaders would now sit down and decide on the next step of action to take to ensure that the right thing would be done.

Afia Schwarzenegger on Daddy Lumba's body exhumation
Speaking in a video shared by Daily View Gh, Afia Schwarzenegger swore by the seat of Otumfuo Osei Tutu, claiming the Ga community might not be able to exhume Daddy Lumba's body as threatened.
According to her, there are laws in the country forbidding people from storming others' houses without permission.
She detailed that the highlife artist is not the first to be buried in his private residence, naming public figures including Peter Adjetey and Komla Dumor.
Afia Schwarzenegger disclosed a possible reason why Abusuapanin Tupac could not honour the invitation, saying:
“How can you just set a date and summon someone without considering the person’s schedule? What if the person was busy on the said date?”
