The High Court in Kumasi has given the green light for Daddy Lumba's final funeral rites to ahead as planned on December 6, 2025.
It follows the dismissal of an interlocutory injunction application filed by the wife of the iconic Ghanaian musician, Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, to restrain the external family from going ahead with the final funeral rites.
The application was filed by Akosua Serwaa, the wife of the celebrated musician, who prayed the court to restrain the family from going ahead with the funeral until certain matters are determined.
The Presiding Judge, Dorinda Smith Arthur, in her ruling on Tuesday [Oct 28], said under the Ghanaian customary law, the authority over a corpse rests entirely with the family.
The court said restraining the family will not serve the best interests of the family and the general public.
"Accordingly, the application for interlocutory injunction is hereby refused," she concluded.
Daddy Lumba is expected to be laid to rest on December 6, 2025, as announced by the family.
