No Matter What, We’ll Go Ahead with Daddy Lumba’s Autopsy- Ernestina Brempongmaa

New information has surfaced regarding the death of Ghanaian Highlife legend Daddy Lumba, following a meeting between his elder sister, Ernestina Akosua Brempongmaa, and the family head, Kofi Owusu, at the Manhyia Palace.

It will be recalled that on October 31, 2025, Akosua Brempongmaa invoked Otumfuo’s Ntam Kese (the Great Oath) on the Abusuapanin at the premises of the Kumasi High Court, accusing him of mistreatment and organizing the musician’s burial without her consent.

Subsequently, the two were summoned to appear before Otumfuo’s Saamanhene, Nana Buabasa, on November 3, 2025.

In a new video circulating online, Akosua Brempongmaa spoke to the media after the meeting, revealing that Otumfuo’s chiefs have directed both parties to resolve their differences amicably at home and report the outcome to the palace on Friday.

“The chiefs have asked my uncle and me to go home and settle the issues amicably. So I am yet to go home and meet my uncle so we can settle the issue peacefully. They also said we should come back on Friday with the outcome, but I want to state that I am giving up on my demands,” she said.

Akosua Brempongmaa further noted that, no matter what, an autopsy should be conducted on the late Highlife musician, so the family can ascertain the cause of the musician’s death.

“… The autopsy would be done no matter what because it is a criminal investigation.”

She further debunked rumours circulating on social media that Otumfuo’s chiefs have given the go-ahead for the musician’s burial to come off on December 6, 2025.

“They didn’t say that the burial ceremony should happen on December 6. If we can settle the issue before 6, the burial will go on, but if we are not to do that and my wishes are not granted, there is no way the funeral would come off,” she added.
