The family of the late Ghanaian highlife icon, Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, is calling for an independent and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
In a statement dated October 13, 2025, Lumba’s first wife, Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, and his elder sister, Ernestina Fosuh, revealed that they have received three conflicting accounts regarding how the musician died.
“These contradictory versions have left the family deeply concerned and distressed, raising serious questions about the true cause of death and whether proper medical and investigative procedures were followed,” the statement said.
To seek clarity, the family—represented by Akosua Serwaa and Ernestina—has officially contacted the German Embassy in Accra, the Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt – BKA) in Wiesbaden, and the German Federal Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt) in Berlin for assistance.
They have also called on the Ghana Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to question Priscilla Ofori, Lumba’s second wife, and Philip Kwabena A., also known as Roman Fada, the musician’s manager, to help uncover the truth behind his death.
According to the family, all relevant documents—including medical reports, official correspondence, and confirmation from Transition Funeral Home regarding the handling of the late musician’s remains—have been submitted to support the ongoing appeal for a thorough and independent inquiry.
“We, the family of the late Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, loved him dearly and are devastated by the unclear and conflicting reports surrounding his death. We have confidence that both the German and Ghanaian authorities will work together to uncover the truth, ensure justice, and bring transparency to this painful situation,” the statement concluded.
