A dispute has arisen within the Abu Banda family concerning plans to hold an unapproved funeral ceremony for the late Alhaji Asoma Abu Banda at the State House in Accra.

Speaking during a press briefing held at the Abu Banda Mosque, Alhaji Mohammed Abu Banda, the family head and Chief of Banda in the Ashanti Region, expressed the family’s firm objection to the proposed event. He described the arrangements as unauthorized and inconsistent with the family’s wishes.

Alhaji Mohammed underscored the family’s resolve to uphold the values, dignity, and legacy of the late Alhaji Asoma Abu Banda.

He also made it clear that Alhaji Abdullah Khalifa, widely known as Alhaji Abomour, lacks the authority to organize any funeral on behalf of the family.

Calling on the public and other relevant entities, Alhaji Mohammed urged them to ignore any funeral plans that have not been sanctioned by the family.

He reiterated their commitment to honoring the late Alhaji in accordance with his religious beliefs and personal wishes.
