The funeral will not happen – Daddy Lumba’s sister casts doubts Lumba’s December 13 funeral
Ernestina Fosu, the elder sister of musician Daddy Lumba, has cast doubts on her late brother’s scheduled December 13 funeral service after her appearance in court in Kumasi on November 21, 2025.
The late singer’s elder sister, Ernestina, and first wife, Akosua Serwaa, had previously filed an interlocutory injunction against second wife Odo Broni, the family head, and Transitions Funeral Home to halt the December 6 funeral.
Daddy Lumba’s first wife accused the family head of sidelining her from the funeral committee’s meetings. She also claimed that she only learned of the announced funeral date through social media.
On Tuesday, October 28, 2025, the Kumasi High Court dismissed Akosua Serwaa’s injunction application and gave Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu the go-ahead to proceed with the funeral.
Displeased with the court’s decision, Ernestina invoked Otumfuo’s Great Oath against him to halt her late brother’s funeral and involved traditional leaders to settle the matter.
In an interview after her court appearance, Ernestina Fosu noted that she would not allow Daddy Lumba’s funeral to be held on December 13, 2025.
She said:
“Excuse me for saying that Charles (Daddy Lumba) is not a chicken. Only two weeks for his funeral? No. The funeral will not happen.” Ernestina also spoke about her recent meeting with the traditional leader of their hometown in Accra.
She questioned why certain family members, including the Abusuapanin, wanted to rush and bury her late brother earlier.
She said:
“I cannot put power in my hands, but if God gives me more life, the date will change. Why two weeks? Why are we rushing? That is the big question.”…CONTINUE MORE READING>>>
