The High Court in Accra has issued an injunction stopping the planned “Celebration of Life” event for the late music icon Daddy Lumba, scheduled for March 28–29, 2026, at Independence Square.

The court’s decision came after an application by the Head of the Ekuana Royal Family of Parkoso and Nsuta, Abusua Panyin Victor Kofi Owusu (Abusua Panin Tupac), who sought to prevent the event from going ahead.

The injunction specifically restrains Nana Yaw Akosa (aka Papa Shee), Akosua Serwaa Schindler (Fosuh), Ernestina Fosuh (Brempomaa), Wofa Yaw Poku, and their associates from organising, promoting, or hosting the event anywhere in Accra or beyond.

Baba Jamal & Associates, the law firm representing the family, emphasised that anyone defying the court order would be committing contempt of court, which is punishable by law.

The firm also warned that committal proceedings could be initiated against any individual who undermines the court’s authority.
