Daddy Lumba's funeral billboards quietly removed
In an Instagram video shared by Zionfelixdotcom, the content creator visited the exact locations where the billboards once stood: KNUST Top Maxima and Manhyia Roundabout.

Reports indicated that she had travelled from Ghana to Germany just hours before the billboards were taken down.
Despite the silence from official sources, supporters have continued to show warmth and understanding, recognising the emotional weight such responsibilities carry.
