In a YouTube video shared by Gossips24, the eldest sibling of the late musician, Akosua Serwaa, along with a few immediate family members, escorted by longtime family friend Papa Shee, paid a courtesy visit to the Gborbu Wulomo Palace.
According to Papa Shee, the visit was intended to honour the Ga traditional leaders following concerns they had raised about the burial of the late musician.
Reports and social media speculation suggest that Daddy Lumba may have been buried at his East Legon home on Ga land without the proper traditional rites being observed.
During the visit, the family emphasised their reliance on the palace to verify the actual burial site of their late brother, amidst widespread social media claims. Brempomaa, the elder sister, stated that she had not seen her brother since his passing and wished to know the location of his burial so that proper proceedings could follow.

Ga-Adangbe leaders warn Afia Schwar
Also, the Ga-Adangbe traditional leaders have threatened to take drastic action against US-based Ghanaian online personality Afia Schwarzenegger over her recent allegations against them amid the controversy over Daddy Lumba's burial site.
On Tuesday, March 10, a purported letter from the Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse's office emerged on social media, summoning Daddy Lumba’s family head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, to appear before the Overlord Wor-Lumor Konor Nuumo Borkete Larweh Tsuru on March 12.
The letter indicated that his summons was related to widespread reports, including comments made by the Abusuapanin himself, that the late highlife legend had been buried at his residence in East Legon.
The Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse said that the matter had been brought before him and that Abusuapanin needed to visit his office to explain his actions, which reportedly go against Ga-Adangbe traditions and customs.

Ga-Adangbe leaders Threaten To Exhume Daddy Lumba’s Body
On Thursday, March 12, 2026, the Ga traditional leaders appeared at the Gborbu-Wulomo’s office in anticipation of their meeting with Daddy Lumba’s family head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu.
After hours of waiting, the family head failed to show up, sparking anger and irritation among the leaders.
Addressing the media, Reverend Dr Jesse Ankrah said Abusuapanin’s purported actions had breached Ga law, customs, and traditions.
He said that due to Abusuapanin’s failure to honour their invite, the next step of action would be to storm Lumba’s East Legon residence to exhume the body for the necessary rites to be performed to purify the land.
He said the traditional leaders would sit down and decide on the next step of action to take to ensure the right thing would be done.
In response to the threats, Afia Schwarzenegger, who is a staunch supporter of the Abusuapanin, hurled insults at the Ga-Adangbe leaders on TikTok.
She swore by the seat of Otumfuo Osei Tutu, claiming the Ga community might not be able to exhume Daddy Lumba's body as threatened.
