Evangelist Papa Shee had explained that Daddy Lumba’s funeral will not take place in December due to delays in travel arrangements for some family members abroad.

“I am the one who fixed the date, and I am saying that the burial ceremony will be held on December 13, no matter what. Your new date will not come on, no matter what.

“Are you a family member? Why would you interfere in the affairs of another family when you are not part of it? If we hear you mentioning the 14th, I will take you on,” Kofi Owusu insisted.

The late Daddy Lumba's elder sister, Ernestina Fosu has declared that there will be no burial for Daddy Lumba until the actual cause of his death is known.

After a court appearance, Ernestina told Adum TV that until the truth is known, no amount of court ruling or family decision would compel her to allow the funeral to proceed.

However, she has expressed readiness to organize the funeral on the once she receives a clear explanation about what caused Daddy Lumba’s death before then.

“There will be no problem if we find out about the cause of Daddy Lumba’s death before December 6. But if we don’t find out what killed my brother, I won’t allow my family to bury my brother, Charles,” she said.

Ernestina Fosu has earlier indicated that she is not prepared to organize Daddy Lumba's funeral on Dec 6.

They should move the funeral to around the sixth month of next year,” Kumchacha UTV’s United Showbiz on November 22, 2025.
