The courtroom drama intensified tensions surrounding the legend's passing and, for the public eye, displayed further allegations involving Lumba's extended family.
Kofi Owusu, the Abusuapanin of the late singer's family, was accused of withdrawing GH₵30,000 from funeral contributions to pay hotel expenses during a stay in Accra.
Parkoso youth call for Abusuapanin’s removal
During the court proceedings, members of the Parkoso community, where Daddy Lumba hailed from, staged a protest demanding that Abusuapanin Owusu step down from all burial planning.
The aggrieved youth insisted that the late musician be buried in his hometown, Parkoso, and not elsewhere.
A community member identified as Yaw Obese said the Abusuapanin was damaging the image of the late music legend and his hometown.
In his words:
"We are the people of Parkoso. Our presence today is not to cause trouble or fight, but to demand that the family head, Kofi Owusu, be removed from our Daddy Lumba's burial preparations. We also demand that he should be buried at Parkoso because that is his birthplace."
He added that the family head had claimed there was no land in Parkoso to bury the singer, which the community viewed as unacceptable.
"Abusuapanin is tainting the community's image for saying that there is no land here for his resting place. It is a lie. Because of this, we should not involve him in the funeral ceremony."
Daddy Lumba, whose contribution to Ghanaian music spanned decades, passed away under yet-to-be-disclosed circumstances, leaving behind a complex legacy and now, a contentious battle over his final resting place.
