IGP pays condolence visit to Late Daddy Lumba’s family

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has paid a heartfelt condolence visit to the family of the late Ghanaian music icon, Charles Kojo Ofosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba.

The visit, which took place ahead of the one-week observation slated for August 30, at the University of Ghana Sports Complex, was to commiserate with the bereaved family and receive updates on funeral preparations.

Mr. Yohuno, accompanied by members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), lauded Daddy Lumba’s enduring musical legacy, describing his songs as a source of personal motivation.

In a lighthearted moment, the IGP shared how he is often moved to reward the Police Band whenever they perform Lumba’s classic hit, “Yentie Obiaa.”

Acknowledging the large turnout during the August 3 night vigil, the IGP pledged full police support to ensure a peaceful and well-coordinated one-week commemoration.

As a show of solidarity, the Police delegation presented 25 packs of bottled water and a financial donation to the family.

Vice Chairman of Daddy Lumba Funeral Planning Committee, were grateful to the IGP and POMAB for their gesture.

He assured that the committee would reciprocate the visit in the days ahead to finalize arrangements.

Late Daddy Lumba’s passing has left a deep void in Ghana’s music industry, and preparations are underway to honour his memory with dignity and national recognition.
