- After weeks of silence, the elder, now a social media sensation, returned with heartfelt updates on the funeral scheduled for Saturday, December 13, 2025
- His announcement came shortly after the Kumasi High Court lifted the injunction that had been placed on the ceremony on Friday, December 12, 2025
What began as a tense day in court quickly turned dramatic. The judges initially placed an injunction on the funeral, but minutes after the ruling, both families were called back in for a new directive.

The party that filed the injunction was ordered to pay a compensation of GHS 2 million by exactly 2 p.m.
Their inability to meet the deadline led the judges to grant the family head Kofi Owusu full permission to proceed with the funeral of the national treasure, Lumba.
The sudden turnaround sparked heartfelt reactions across the country, as many expressed relief that the long-awaited ceremony could finally take place.
“We need to bury him. He is tired and needs to rest,” the Abusua Panyin told a GHOne reporter.
