The High Court in Kumasi has ruled for Highlife icon Daddy Lumba's final funeral rites to come off as scheduled.

The wife of the singer, Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, had filed an interlocutory injunction application seeking to bar Lumba's extended family from carrying out the said rites, ahead of some matters she held important being determined.

The interlocutory injunction application has, however, been dismissed.

In her ruling today, Tuesday, October 28, 2025, Presiding Judge Dorinda Smith Arthur recognised that the authority over a corpse rested entirely with the family, per Ghanaian customary law.

Additionally, barring the family from carrying out the funeral rites, the court said, would not serve the best interests of the Fosuh family, and the general public. 

Judge Dorinda Smith Arthur said, "Accordingly, the application for interlocutory injunction is hereby refused." 

William Kusi ESQ led the legal representation for Akosua Serwaa.

Daddy Lumba's fineral rites were scheduled by his family for Saturday, December 6, 2025.
