A new case has been filed, adding another layer to the injunction battle among members of Daddy Lumba's family.

On Monday, February 2, 2026, veteran hiplife superstar-turned-evangelist Papa Shee announced that a second funeral was being organised for the late highlife legend.

He said the event, dubbed 'The Celebration of the Life of Daddy Lumba,' would be scheduled for March 28 and March 29, 2026, in Accra.

After his announcement, reports emerged that Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, also known as Tupac, had been granted permission by the Accra High Court to seek an injunction against the event, but Ernestina Fosuh denied that in a statement released on February 16, 2026.

After several appearances in court, the case was adjourned to Thursday, April 23, 2026. According to reports coming in, the case has been further adjourned to May 14, 2026, as a fresh case has been filed.
