After several months of intense drama on social media, it appears that the family of the late Ghanaian Highlife legend, Daddy Lumba, has finally found common ground to resolve their differences.

Ernestina Fosu, the musician’s senior sister, had earlier returned to Ghana to participate in activities marking his life and was later spotted at the funeral of the son of her younger sister, Faustina Fosu.

At the ceremony, which took place on March 26, 2026, Ernestina Fosu attended to mourn her nephew, Derrick, and was observed having a discussion with Faustina Fosu.

While speaking to journalists at the event, Ernestina Fosu indicated that harmony has been restored within the family, noting that any previous misunderstandings between the two sisters have been resolved.

She explained that she has never had any personal conflict with Faustina, emphasizing that their relationship remains solid despite recent tensions, even though Faustina had earlier been linked to the faction of the removed Abusuapanyin, Kofi Owusu, during their legal battles.

“Faustina and I have never fought. Our mother gave birth to only three of us, and we did everything together. Even when I gave birth, it was my mother who took care of me. Some people may have tried to create confusion, but as long as God lives, we are blood, and nothing can separate us,” she said.

The sisters also appeared to deliver a veiled message directed at the dismissed Abusuapanyin.

“In this world, being respectful is very important. If someone deliberately tries to prevent me from mourning my brother, there is God. This person did not allow me to see my brother’s body… When we were going through difficulties in life, where were you?

“We have handed the matter over to God because we do not have the strength to fight, but God will judge you,” they said.

The family head of the late highlife icon Daddy Lumba, Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu, has been invited to appear before the Spiritual Overlord of the GaDangme people following reports that the musician was buried at his private residence in East Legon.

A letter dated March 10, 2026, issued by the office of Gborbu Wulomo-Shitsɛ of the Nungua Traditional Area, instructs Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu to present himself before Wor Lumor Konor Nuumo Borkete Laweh Tsuru at the Nungua palace on March 13, 2026, at 11:30 a.m.

The invitation follows reports—also acknowledged by the family head—that the late singer was interred at his residence in East Legon.

“This summons arises in connection with reports and public concerns regarding the alleged burial of the late Charles Kojo Fosu (Daddy Lumba) at his private residence located in East Legon, Accra,” part of the statement read.

According to the Ga traditional authorities, the development has sparked concern among sections of the GaDangme community, prompting the issue to be referred to the Spiritual Overlord for clarification and traditional review.

They explained that the situation has generated strong reactions within the community, making it necessary for the traditional leadership to examine the circumstances surrounding the burial in line with established customs and traditions.

Wor Lumor Konor Nuumo Borkete Laweh Tsuru noted that the presence of the family head is required to provide clarification on the matter in accordance with customary procedures.

“As the Family Head (Abusuapanyin) of the late Charles Kojo Fosu, your presence is required to provide the necessary explanation and engagement on the matter in accordance with customary protocols and to assist in addressing the concerns raised,” the statement indicated.

The letter further called on the family head to fully cooperate with the traditional authorities as they work to address the issue and provide clarity.

“Your cooperation in this matter is highly expected in the interest of maintaining harmony, respect for tradition, and peaceful resolution of the issues raised. Kindly treat this summons with the urgency and respect it deserves,” the statement further indicated.

The final funeral rites of Ghanaian highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, were held in Kumasi at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

Lumba died at age 60 in Accra at The Bank Hospital on July 26. Shortly after his passing, a dispute emerged between his maternal and paternal families, as well as between his two wives. On the family front, members of the maternal side accused the paternal family head of sidelining them from the funeral planning and the management of funds.

The disagreement persisted from around August to early December, eventually leading to legal action. The Accra High Court later granted an injunction halting the funeral that had been scheduled for December 13, and also restrained Transitions Funeral Home from releasing the body, citing the alleged exclusion of the immediate family from the arrangements.

The court subsequently recalled the lawyers involved in the case and directed the party seeking to stop the funeral to deposit GH¢2 million by 2:00 p.m. to cover potential costs should the burial be delayed. The court indicated that failure to meet the deadline would allow the funeral to proceed as planned.

The opposing party failed to meet the deadline, and as a result, Daddy Lumba’s funeral went ahead as scheduled.
