Daddy Lumba’s first wife, Akosua Serwaa and elder sister call for independent probe into his death

-

The first wife of late Highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, is demanding an independent and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death in Ghana on July 26, 2025.

A statement issued and signed by the family secretary on behalf of the widow, Mrs. Akosua Serwah Fosuh, and the deceased’s elder sister, Ms. Ernestina Fosuh, expressed concern over three conflicting accounts of the events leading to his death.

According to the family, an eyewitness claimed that a woman living with Mr. Fosuh prevented a friend from seeing him shortly before he was later reported dead.

A separate police and coroner’s report indicated that the 60-year-old, who was diabetic, died at the Bank Hospital after undergoing an MRI scan at Sunshine Diagnostic Centre.

However, another account from a woman identified as Ms. Priscilla O. conflicted with both reports, stating at one point that he died at the hospital and later claiming he passed away at home.

“These contradictory versions have left the family deeply concerned and distressed,” the statement said.

The family has since reached out to the German Embassy in Accra, the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) in Wiesbaden, and the German Foreign Office in Berlin, urging collaboration with Ghanaian authorities to ensure a thorough investigation.

They have also called on the Ghana Police CID to question two individuals, Ms. Priscilla O. and Mr. Philip Kwabena A., also known as Roman Fada, to assist in uncovering the truth.

“We 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 and ensure justice,” the family said.
