The Manhyia Palace has announced that the final funeral rites of the late highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, will now be held on 13 December 2025, instead of the initially planned 6 December.
The decision was reached during a meeting at the Otumfuo Saamanhene Palace on 10 November 2025, where a new funeral committee chaired by Dadiesoabahene was appointed to oversee arrangements.
During the meeting, Daddy Lumba’s sister, Ernestina Akosua Brempomaa, requested that a postmortem be conducted, citing suspicion of foul play surrounding her brother’s death. She also asked that both the burial and funeral be postponed until the postmortem results are available to determine the exact cause of death.
The Chiefs confirmed that the police would handle the postmortem and reiterated 13 December as the new date for the funeral. They urged the family to remain united and to ensure a befitting burial for the celebrated musician.
Regarding the invocation of the Great Oath, which Akosua Brempomaa had performed, the Asantehene has pardoned her but cautioned her against repeating such actions in the future.
