The Accra High Court has lifted the injunction it placed on the funeral arrangements of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba after the applicants failed to meet the GH¢2 million undertaking required by the court.
The injunction, which was granted earlier at the request of the musician’s maternal family, had restrained the family head, Kofi Owusu, from proceeding with burial plans and also barred Transitions Funeral Home from releasing the body. The applicants were directed to provide the undertaking to cover any potential losses that might arise from delaying the burial.
However, the applicants were unable to fulfil the financial requirement within the stipulated time, prompting the court to set aside the injunction.
With the restriction now lifted, the family head and other stakeholders are expected to continue preparations for the funeral. The court is still handling the main case regarding the disagreements between the maternal relatives and the family head over funeral leadership and fund management.
Daddy Lumba, 60, passed away on July 26, 2025, leading to a family dispute rooted in long-standing Akan customs surrounding burial rights.
