He revealed that he had already dispatched some family members to Accra to verify the news surrounding the musician’s death and urged the public to remain calm until there is official family confirmation.

“I’ve sent people to make enquiries. Once they return with confirmation, I will then proceed with the next steps.”

The family head emphasized that only after verification would he feel confident enough to formally inform key national figures such as Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, former President John Mahama, and other prominent dignitaries about Daddy Lumba’s passing.
