The immediate Maternal Family of the famous Ghanaian musician, Charles Kojo Fosu alias Daddy Lumba are at war with the Head of the wider Family of Daddy Lumba over management of funeral donations lodged with Cal Bank and the planning, organization and conduct of the funeral of the deceased musician.

In a writ filed in the General Jurisdiction Registry of the High Court sitting in Accra, the Plaintiffs-Maternal Family members of the deceased contend that they are the rightful persons to organise and conduct the funeral of the deceased. They thus pray for reliefs to that effect that they have the right to have control over donations lodged in an account at Cal Bank which received funeral donations upon the death and one week celebration of Daddy Lumba's passing.
