Ernestina Fosuh, elder sister of highlife legend Daddy Lumba, has dismissed claims circulating on social media that an injunction has halted the upcoming Celebration of Life event for the late musician.
In a statement on February 15, 2026, and issued by the family’s press secretary, Ms Fosuh described the reports as false and painful.
“It has come to our attention that some individuals, including certain social media commentators and comedians, are spreading claims that the upcoming Celebration of Life event in Accra has been halted due to a possible injunction,” she stated.
“We wish to state clearly and unequivocally that this is false. There is no injunction stopping the event. The Celebration of Life of Daddy Lumba will proceed as planned.”
The family announced that the two-day event will take place on March 28 and 29, 2026, in Accra.
Away from that, Erestina Fosuh also responded to what she described as a “deeply hurtful rumor” that she had the opportunity to see her late brother after his passing but declined.
“This claim is not only untrue but extremely painful,” she said.
According to her, she made efforts to view the body of her late brother at the Transition Funeral Home in Haatso but was denied access.
“I personally went to Transition Funeral Home at Haatso, accompanied by my lawyer and four others, to see my younger brother – my only brother, whom I have loved since childhood and with whom I spoke just two days before his untimely death. I was denied access,” she recounted.
She further alleged that the funeral home’s manager informed her that the Abusuapanyin had instructed them not to allow her to see the body.
Ms Fosuh revealed that she subsequently sought legal redress at the High Court in Accra in hopes of securing permission to see her brother.
“I placed my hope in the High Court in Accra, believing that justice would allow me that final moment. An injunction was granted only to be revoked within one and a half hours,” she stated.
She added that the court demanded “GHS 2 million within two hours, before closing time that Friday,” describing the day as “one of the most painful days of my life.”
“That dark Friday remains one of the most painful days of my life. Justice, as I understood it, was not served,” she said, noting that she has “wept many nights” since the incident.
Despite the challenges, she maintained that the family remains resolute in honouring the memory of the late musician.
“Yet despite the pain, we remain resolute,” she said, reaffirming that the Celebration of Life for Charles Kwadwo Fosuh will go ahead as scheduled.
