A lawyer with Baba Jamal & Associates representing Abusuapanyin’s Tupac has warned event centres that rent out their spaces for Lumba’s “Celebration of Life” event risk facing legal action.
Ali Yallah, representing the former Abusuapanyin’s Tupac, detailed the court’s decision to adjourn the ongoing injunction case, which indirectly bars such events.
Abusuapanyin’s Tupac lawyers stressed that anyone who facilitates them could be cited for contempt.
She explained that the directive goes beyond venues and includes individuals and businesses involved in preparations for the event, adding that anyone who produces or brands items bearing Daddy Lumba’s image for use at a celebration will be held accountable.
Abusuapanyin’s Tupac lawyers detailed that the restriction applies regardless of who is named as the organiser of the programme.
Speaking to the media at a press conference on March 25, 2026, Ali Yallah stated, “There is an injunction on Daddy Lumba’s ‘Celebration of Life’ event. Any event centre that rents out its venue for it risks legal action from Baba Jamal’s lawyers, as we consider that contempt of court. The same applies to anyone supplying chairs, packs, keyholders, or any branded items bearing Daddy Lumba’s name for such an event.
“Whether it is for organised by Akosua Serwaa, Papa Shee, or Wofa Poku, as long as it is a ‘Celebration of Life’ event, we will take action. The court has already given its ruling, and anyone who disregards it will be dealt with accordingly,” she said.
Meanwhile, an elderly woman in the Ekuorna family has claimed that they have removed Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu, commonly known as Abusuapanyin Tupac, as the family head.
It will be recalled that the elders of Parkoso gave Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu a two-week ultimatum to appear before the chiefs.
Following another gathering of the late Ghanaian Highlife legend Daddy Lumba’s family, together with elders of Parkoso, Abusuapanyin Tupac failed to honour the initial summons before the Chiefs of Parkoso.
Mama China, in a video, who spoke on behalf of the elderly women, stated that the decision to remove Kofi Owusu as family head was not solely influenced by the controversies surrounding the burial of the late Highlife legend.
Mama China stated, “Kwadwo’s death isn’t what sparked the whole issue in the family. We had already warned him several times, but because he felt that we couldn’t do anything to him, he continued to do whatever pleased him. When Kwadwo passed on, that is when things became worse.
“From today, the position he holds as Abusuapanyin has been taken away from him. He is no longer our family head,” she said.
She further added that the removal of Abusuapanyin Tupac will not prevent him from attending gatherings.
“He is our brother, and we love him, but because of what he is doing on social media, we feel ashamed because people point fingers at us and mock us. He claims he is the family head, but if we ask him to give a brief history of the stool, he won’t be able to. Yet he stands somewhere and insults us,” she added.
In another video, some male members of the family who attended the meeting also expressed their support for the women.
“We, the men in the family, also support the women. From today, Kofi Owusu is no longer the family head because he failed to show respect to the family. The same people who made him the family head are the same people who have now removed him,” an elderly man said during the meeting with the Chiefs of Parkoso.
