Accra — Fresh controversy has erupted surrounding the burial of legendary Ghanaian highlife icon Daddy Lumba, as Ga traditional authorities have reportedly summoned an Abusuapanyin (family head) over claims that the music legend was buried at his East Legon residence.
The development has intensified the growing tension and public debate over the final resting place of the late musician, whose death sent shockwaves across Ghana and beyond.
According to sources within traditional leadership circles, the Ga chiefs are seeking clarification from the family following circulating reports that the celebrated highlife legend may have been buried within the East Legon property.
Under Ga customary law, the burial of a person within a residential compound in certain parts of Accra requires consultation and approval from traditional authorities. Chiefs therefore say they want answers regarding whether the proper traditional procedures were followed.
Traditional Authority Steps In
The chiefs are said to be particularly concerned because East Legon falls within Ga traditional jurisdiction, meaning any burial within a private home could have cultural and customary implications.
Summoning the Abusuapanyin is intended to establish the facts and ensure that customary protocols were not breached, especially given the stature of the late musician.
Traditional leaders reportedly want to know:
- Whether the burial indeed took place at the East Legon residence
- If the necessary customary permissions were obtained
- Whether the burial arrangement aligns with Ga traditions
A Legend at the Center of a Growing Storm
The late Daddy Lumba, born Charles Kwadwo Fosu, remains one of Ghana’s most influential highlife musicians, with a career spanning decades and countless hit songs that shaped the country’s music culture.
However, the circumstances surrounding his burial have now become a major national talking point, drawing attention from the public, traditional authorities, and cultural observers.
The situation has already sparked heated discussions on radio, television, and social media, with many Ghanaians calling for transparency from the family regarding the burial arrangements.
Family Yet to Respond Publicly
As of now, the family of the late highlife legend has not issued an official public response to the summons or the claims about the alleged burial at the East Legon residence.
Meanwhile, observers say the intervention by Ga chiefs signals that the matter could take on both cultural and legal dimensions if customary rules are found to have been breached.
Counsellor Lutterodt Backtracks: Apologises After Outrage Over Inciting Remarks
Controversial Ghanaian relationship commentator George Lutterodt, popularly known as Counsellor Lutterodt, has issued a public apology following widespread backlash over comments many described as inciting and offensive.
The outspoken counsellor, who is no stranger to controversy, came under heavy criticism after remarks he made during a media appearance triggered public outrage and heated debate across social media and traditional media platforms.
In a statement addressing the issue, George Lutterodt acknowledged that his comments had caused anger and disappointment among sections of the public. He expressed regret over the situation and apologized to those who felt offended by his statements.
“I apologise to everyone who was hurt or disturbed by my comments. It was never my intention to incite anyone or create division,” he reportedly said while responding to the controversy.
The incident quickly went viral, with critics accusing the counsellor of crossing the line with provocative commentary, while others argued that his words were taken out of context.
Despite the apology, the situation has once again reignited conversations about responsibility in public commentary, especially from influential media personalities whose views can shape public opinion.
Over the years, George Lutterodt has built a reputation for bold and often polarising views on relationships, marriage, and social issues, frequently sparking national debates.
While some supporters have accepted his apology, others insist that public figures must exercise greater caution with their words, particularly when discussing sensitive topics.
