In the wake of the tragic passing of Highlife legend Daddy Lumba (Charles Kwadwo Fosu) on July 26, 2025, spiritual leader Prophet Kwabena Boakye Asiamah, popularly known as Prophet Ajagurajah, has stirred controversy by attributing the cause of the musician’s death to a spiritual issue rather than conventional medical factors.
Family Maintains Privacy on Medical Cause
On July 27, the Fosu family, represented by their legal counsel Fati Ali Yallah, confirmed the musician’s death at Bank Hospital in Accra, after a reportedly short illness. The family requested privacy and stated that no additional details including the cause of death or funeral arrangementsm would be disclosed at this time.
Ajagurajah Connects Daddy Lumba’s Death to Spiritual Weakness
Prophet Ajagurajah, founder of the Ajagurajah Movement, is widely known for asserting that many Ghanaian celebrities including Daddy Lumba and dancehall star Shatta Wale are spiritually fortified, granting them resilience against career sabotage and adversity
However, in comments made recently (no exact date disclosed), Ajagurajah claimed that Lumba’s untimely death results from a deficit in spiritual protection, implying a metaphysical rather than physical cause. This viewpoint diverges sharply from conventional medical explanations and contradicts the family’s ongoing silence regarding the official cause. No verifiable medical or clinical source supports the spiritual claim.
Public Reaction and Controversy
While some fans and devotees of Ajagurajah’s doctrines may find resonance in this narrative, many entertainment and health commentators caution against attributing medical events to spiritual causes without substantiating evidence. Critics argue such assertions risk fueling misinformation and distress, especially when no corroborating medical records have been produced publicly.

Looking Forward
At this time, no official medical or forensic confirmation has been released regarding Daddy Lumba’s cause of death. Prophet Ajagurajah’s remarks remain speculative and rooted in spiritual belief rather than empirical medical data. The Fosu family has emphasized they will share further information only when ready.
As the nation mourns the loss of a beloved cultural icon, clarity on the biological cause of death is still pending, while debate continues around the intersection of faith, celebrity, and public commentary.
