• The daughter of late Ghanaian music legend Daddy Lumba broke her silence on the tragic death of 15-year-old Jarvits Frimpong
• She called on schools, communities and institutions to share responsibility for protecting young people, especially in the digital age
• Her remarks came as the teen's death sparked wider conversations about the safety of Ghanaian immigrants and their children abroad

The daughter of late Ghanaian music icon Daddy Lumba, Dennis, has spoken out following the tragic death of Jarvits Frimpong, a 15-year-old Ghanaian boy who died on his way to school in the United States.

While extending her condolences to the Frimpong family, Daddy Lumba's daughter used the moment to redirect attention to who Jarvits was as a person, beyond the debates his death has sparked.

"Amidst these discussions, we must not lose sight of Javits himself. He wasn't just any very intelligent teenage son. He was a person, with his own hopes, his own ambitions. He had an entire life ahead of him, and so much more for him to experience," she said.

Her comments signal a desire to shift the conversation from blame to meaningful action, urging people to channel their grief and outrage into something more constructive.

"What matters now is what we use the Javits death conversation to have more meaningful conversations about more meaningful needs," she said.
