The comments, made during a radio interview, were widely interpreted by the public as an incitement to violence, raising concerns about potential disruptions to public peace.
In response, Counselor Lutterodt has clarified his position, urging the youth to remain calm and avoid actions that could lead to trouble.
He specifically advised them not to visit the late musician’s residence and distanced himself from any situation that might arise from misinterpretations of his earlier remarks.
His statement read in parts:
"I have become aware of conversations on both traditional and social media concerning comments attributed to me about the burial location of the late music legend D.L."
"As a peace-loving and law-abiding Ghanaian, I wish to make it clear that I do not encourage anyone to engage in offensive conduct, violence or any action that may disturb the peace of our community."

"I therefore urge everyone to act with wisdom, restraint, and respect."
"Any person who, without lawful authority or the express permission of the appropriate persons, goes to the residence of the late music legend does so entirely at his or her own risk. I completely disassociate myself from any such actions."
