The head of Daddy Lumba’s family has responded to a court injunction filed by Akosua Serwaa, the musician’s former partner, regarding the arrangements for the late highlife legend’s funeral.
Family’s Position
The family head confirmed that despite the legal action, they plan to proceed with the funeral at Heroes Park in Kumasi, instead of the Baba Yara Stadium. He emphasized that the decision was made in consultation with close family members and aligns with the wishes of the late musician.
“We understand the legal proceedings, but the family has collectively agreed on Heroes Park as the venue,” he said. “We believe this location honors Daddy Lumba’s legacy and provides a fitting setting for his final send-off.”
Background of the Dispute
The disagreement stems from differing opinions over the funeral venue. Akosua Serwaa argues that Baba Yara Stadium would be more suitable for the massive public interest surrounding the musician’s funeral. Meanwhile, the family insists Heroes Park is appropriate and in line with Lumba’s legacy.
Next Steps
The legal process is ongoing, but the family remains committed to honoring Daddy Lumba in a manner they believe best reflects his life and contributions to Ghanaian music. They have urged the public to respect their decision during this difficult period.
