Daddy Lumba’s abusuapanin speaks about one-week

In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, Daddy Lumba’s abusuapanin, Kofi Owusu, provided an account of the money raised during the event.

Speaking with Gossips24tv, he brushed aside rumours that the family incurred debts from organising the programme and said they made a handsome profit instead.

“There is no truth to that rumour. The programme went beautifully, and we did not incur any debt. We received so much help from everyone. I must commend the press as well for coming in numbers to cover it well. Although the sheer number of pressmen even stopped some people from coming to donate, we still managed to receive so many donations and make a handsome return,” he stated.
