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 take place on December 13, 2025, instead of the previously scheduled December 6.
The decision followed a meeting at the Otumfuo Saamanhene Palace on November 10, 2025, where a new funeral committee, chaired by Dadiesoabahene, was appointed to oversee the arrangements.
During the meeting, Daddy Lumba’s sister, Ernestina Akosua Brempomaa, requested that a postmortem be conducted, citing suspicions of foul play in her brother’s death.
She further asked that the burial and funeral be postponed until the results of the test were available to determine the exact cause of death.
The Chiefs confirmed that the postmortem would be handled by the police and reaffirmed December 13 as the new funeral date.
They also urged the family to remain united and ensure a befitting farewell for the celebrated musician.
Regarding the invocation of the Great Oath, Akosua Brempomaa, who had performed the ritual, has been pardoned by the Asantehene but was cautioned against engaging in such practices in the future.
