Part of the official communiqué reads:
“The family is also calling on the Ghana Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to question Ms. Priscilla O. and Mr. Philip Kwabena A. (also known as Roman Fada) to assist in uncovering the truth about the death of our loved one, Charles Kwadwo Fosu.”

Initially, Ms. Priscilla O. told the family that the late musician died after receiving an injection at the hospital. However, she later changed her story, claiming that Daddy Lumba had actually died at home and that she cleaned and dressed the body before transporting it to the hospital with the help of a friend.
The family noted that these contradictions have caused deep concern and emotional distress, raising doubts about whether due medical and investigative procedures were followed.
