The Accra High Court, presided over by Justice Halimah El-Alawa Abdul Baasit, has adjourned a suit seeking to halt the planned celebration of life for late highlife icon Daddy Lumba to April 23, 2026.
The injunction application was filed by Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu, popularly known as Abusuapanyin Tupac, who is seeking to stop the event.
After Wednesday’s proceedings, counsel for the respondents, Stephen Nsia Opoku, told the media that the adjournment was to allow the court more time to consider the customs involved and the applicable law.
He said the court will reconvene on April 23, 2026, to continue hearing the case and determine the merits of the application.
Lawyer Opoku further noted that the judge indicated that if the case is found to lack merit, the respondents would be awarded appropriate compensation.
The event, dubbed “Celebration of the Life of Daddy Lumba,” is scheduled for March 28 and March 29, 2026, in Accra.
It is expected to be attended by members of the late musician’s immediate family, who were reportedly dissatisfied with the funeral held in December 2025 by Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu. These include his sister, Ernestina Fosuh; his first wife, Akosua Serwaa Fosuh; and other members of the “Team Legal Wives” faction.
