Daddy Lumba’s Body To Be Transported By Road To Kumasi

Ahead of his last funeral ceremonies, the family of the late Ghanaian music icon Daddy Lumba has declared that his body will be driven from Accra to Kumasi. The family said, this decision was made in order to allow Ghanaians nationwide to honor the highlife icon with their final tributes and farewell.

“The convoy will make brief stops in key towns along the route from Accra to Kumasi, so that fans can bid farewell to the legend who gave them countless memories,” the statement said.

The Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi will host the funeral service on December 6 and 7, 2025. His legacy will be celebrated with a memorial cocktail party.
