Fact Check: Counsellor Lutterodt and the Daddy Lumba Burial Controversy | Discuss Ghana

There is significant misinformation in the report regarding the arrest of Counsellor Lutterodt and the current status of Daddy Lumba. While there is ongoing controversy involving Lutterodt’s recent comments, several key details are factually incorrect:

1. Daddy Lumba's Burial Location

The claim that Daddy Lumba is buried at his "East Legon residence" is false.

Fact: Highlife legend Daddy Lumba passed away on July 26, 2025, at the age of 60.

Fact: After months of legal disputes between his maternal family and the family head, he was officially buried on December 13, 2025, in his hometown in the Ashanti Region (Kumasi). His final funeral rites were held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

2. Counsellor Lutterodt's Alleged Arrest

As of Monday, March 9, 2026, there is no official confirmation from the Ghana Police Service that Counsellor Lutterodt has been arrested for "inciting violence" or demanding an exhumation.

Recent Activity: Lutterodt has indeed been vocal over the last 48 hours, but his comments have primarily targeted "Odo Broni" (Priscilla Ofori), one of the women recognized as a surviving spouse of the late musician.

The Controversy: Lutterodt sparked a heated debate on March 8, 2026, by publicly blasting Odo Broni, claiming she is "not a widow" but a "baby mama" and has no right to claim Daddy Lumba's estate.

Conduct: While his statements are often provocative, no formal charges of "conduct likely to cause a breach of peace" have been filed by the police in relation to an exhumation plot.
