Daddy Lumba
Late Highlife legend Daddy Lumba was buried at his East Legon residence in Accra, family head, Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu has reportedly disclosed.
According to Kofi Owusu, the burial location is not a secret, as Afia Schwarzenegger made it public months earlier. He confirmed that the decision to bury the musician at his residence was in line with Lumba’s dying wish.
Speaking in an interview with Ezra TV on February 26, 2026, the family head addressed concerns raised by some members of the extended family who claim they were unaware of the burial site.
“If you chose not to attend the funeral because you were upset about the court’s verdict, how can you now claim you don’t know where Daddy Lumba was buried? You can’t skip the funeral and expect to know the burial site. They are lucky that Afia Schwarzenegger made the location of Lumba’s burial known publicly, so saying you don’t know where he was buried is a lie,” he stated.
In December 2025, Afia Schwarzenegger revealed that the Highlife icon was buried at his East Legon home, noting that it was his final wish.
“He was buried at his residence in East Legon, which was his dying wish. Do you know what killed him? He died from a cardiac arrest,” she said.
Meanwhile, on February 25, 2026, members of the musician’s extended family held a meeting at Parkoso to deliberate on the conduct of Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu amid attempts to remove him from office.
The relatives accused the family head of failing to follow due process before, during, and after the burial ceremony. They have given him until March 11, 2026, to appear before the family elders to address their concerns, or risk being dethroned.
