Daddy Lumba’s One-Week Observation Set for August 30 in Accra; Funeral Rites to Follow in Kumasi
The one-week Observation of late Ghanaian music icon, Daddy Lumba, will be held on Saturday, August 30, in Accra at a yet-to-be-disclosed venue. However, the final funeral rites will take place in Kumasi.
This was disclosed by Lumba’s head of family (Abusuapnyin), Kofi Owusu, right after officially visiting Manhyia Palace to inform Otumfuo of Lumba’s death as a royal and son of the soil.
He mentioned that Lumba was royal, so the family couldn’t have announced any arrangements without officially informing the Asantehene and seeking his counsel.
“Led by some chiefs who led the family, the Asantehene openly accepted our visit and quickly responded to our mission to see him.
“ He told us he has heard our reason for coming and added that we should bear in mind that Lumba is a son and a royal of the Asante Kingdom.
“As an elderly person and head of the family, I perfectly understood the position of His Royal Majesty, and with the other members of the family who went with me, we know what to do for Daddy Lumba’s final rest.
“ For the One Week celebration, we can do it in Accra, but for the funeral, we need to return Otumfuo’s son to him in Kumasi for the final funeral rite, so it will be held in Kumasi.
“We will equally inform the Ga Manste. The one week is on Saturday, August 30. We are still deliberating on the venue. If we look at the huge crowd at the Candle Night Vigil on Saturday and take into consideration the initial venue selected, it needs to be changed.
“A big venue has become necessary to avoid chaos or stampede to ensure that everything goes on well without a blemish,” he stated.
Before the One Week celebration, A Candle Night Vigil was held at the Independence Square on Saturday, August 2.
Kumasi will host its version of the Vigil at Heroe’s Park, Kumasi Sports Stadium on Saturday, August 9.
