Public brouhaha and insults are not the solution to Daddy Lumba’s family’s problems

The public brouhaha and the insults being bandied about regarding the frenzied quest by the Ghanaian public to know the cause of death and the burial place of late Charles Kwadwo Fosu, aka Daddy Lumba, are never the antidote to his blood siblings’ headache.

The yet-to-be-discovered remedy lies somewhere else, but not too far away, if and only if we diligently search for it.

We may be wrong in pointing accusing fingers and hurling insults at certain personalities and bodies for not intervening to resolve the unusual mystery surrounding the demise of Daddy Lumba to bring peace and comfort to his grieving close family members, thus, his blood siblings and his only publicly legally recognised wife, Madam Akosua Serwaah.

The solution lies embedded in what is believed to have been revealed to the writer of this publication and must be passed on to Daddy Lumba’s family. However, the problem is how he could initiate contact with them.

A suggestion and direction for them to pursue a specific line of action will suffice to do the magic trick and yield the desired result that we have all along been hoping to achieve through the, until now, frenetic insults and public and social media shows of support.

The question of someone stealing the limelight from another, the usual unhelpful behaviour and character of many Ghanaians, hence causing them to withhold vital requested information from others, should please not come in here. We are all here in the same boat aspiring, or intent, to help the abused and unjustly treated family members, so our personal pride and selfish beliefs must be put aside.

Nobody, I say and repeat, nobody will be taking any personal credit for any solution found to end the conspicuous injustice and mistreatment being meted out to the blood siblings and wife of late Daddy Lumba, Madam Akosua Serwaah, by the courts and the unnamed powerful but shameless rich person(s).

The solution found will be a collectively shared credit to all the lovers and sympathisers of the affected family members.

Therefore, those who have been contacted by the writer with assurances of helping but are reneging on their promise must please reconsider their stance if they really want to help the unjustly treated Lumba family.

May the writer go a step further to request his Kumawu fellows living in both Canada and Germany to help liaise with Uncle Yaw Opoku, Madam Brempomaa, and widow Akosua Serwaah?

He has a suggestion to make to them towards quickening the search for a solution to their ongoing heartrending predicament.

The image of Daddy Lumba and his family members, as specified in this publication, should not continue to suffer. Enough is enough of the abuse, unfairness, and injustice they have so far suffered and continue to suffer at the hands of some powerful persons and their agents and assigns.

The quicker a solution is found, the better for them.

All the lawyers and judges who have so far demonstrated instances of injustice, unprofessionalism, and absolute incompetence in this ongoing case to tarnish the reputation of late Daddy Lumba must bury their heads in their palms in shame!

Until the writer gets connected with any of the mentioned family members of late Daddy Lumba, he will never rest. He wants to have a discussion with them about how best to secure a quick solution to their ongoing problems, where some powerful forces have teamed up against them.

The writer, the self-styled voice of the voiceless and the proud and fearless son of Kumawu/Asiampa, sympathises with the grieving and suffering close family members of late Daddy Lumba. Putting himself in their stead, he feels the terrible heat and pain!

Those who can help liaise with him with any of the mentioned family members will be much appreciated.
