Months of legal dispute threatened to overshadow today’s ceremony after a High Court injunction briefly halted preparations, with interlocutory orders and family disagreements over burial authority making national headlines.

Many attendees wore traditional funeral cloth in muted colors, while some donned accessories bearing the legend’s iconic image.

NDC Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, Ashanti Regional Minister, Frank Amoakohene, and the Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu were all notably present.

Renowned businessmen Osei Kwame Despite and Akwasi Sarpong also arrived to pay their last respects.

Nana Acheampong, overcome with emotion, delivered a performance of the first song he composed with Daddy Lumba.
