The Asantehene’s court fined Kofi Owusu two sheep on Nov. 7, 2025, for falsely claiming he notified the king about Daddy Lumba’s burial date, upholding Asante custom amid family disputes over funeral rites and widowship.
The Asantehene’s court fined Kofi Owusu, head of late Ghanaian Highlife musician Daddy Lumba’s family, two sheep on November 7, 2025, for falsely claiming he informed the Asantehene of Lumba’s burial date.
The penalty followed the invocation of the sacred “Ntam Kese” oath by Lumba’s sister, Ernestina Fosu, during a traditional hearing, which triggered the fine under Asante custom.
The dispute centered on conflicting claims over Lumba’s marital status and funeral arrangements, with his Germany-based wife, Akosua Serwaa, ultimately chosen by family vote as the official widow.
The decision resolves weeks of public conflict and legal challenges, reinforcing customary authority in funeral matters despite ongoing civil court involvement.
