"This is too bad. He should have at least renovated the house where he was born or where his mother was living. Guys should learn from this. The cost of the gates at his house in Accra alone could have turned this house into a modern one. Too bad."

Daddy Lumba’s family speaks about his funeral
Previously, YEN.com.gh reported that Daddy Lumba’s family warned his widow that she would not be allowed to organise his funeral without them.
Speaking in an interview with GhPage, the family head of the Fosu family said Daddy Lumba’s wife, Priscilla Ofori Atta, has snubbed their attempts to contact her to plan his funeral.
He warned that she would not be allowed to bury the musician without their involvement because he hails from their family and by custom, they are supposed to be in charge of his funeral.
