A group of people who paraded themselves as Friends of the late Daasebre Gyamenah over the weekend organised a demonstration in support of second second burial.
The late musician’s maternal family has put an injunction on the second funeral but the paternal family has planned to organise it in Koforidua to celebrate Daasebre’s death.
Members of the group speaking to Accra-based radio station, Adom FM, however, stated that they couldn’t understand why the mother side of “Daasebre will decide to stop them from organising the funeral when they allowed them to do theirs in 2016.
According to them, the [mother side] has no right to put a court injunction on the funeral which is slated for April 1, 2017.
A member of the group, who gave his name as Kwasi Daniel, said: “they want to tell us they are serious but we are more serious than them. We allowed them to organise their funeral last year so if they want to stop the father side from organising theirs then we will demonstrate against them. They don’t have the power to stop us.”
Daasebre’s drummer also accused one Agyapong and his sister, one Cynthia, of masterminding the plot to stop the paternal family from organising the funeral.
He asked them to stop their plan “because we didn’t fight them when they took the dead body away last year to bury it in the Central Region.
Assembly man of the area, Agya Kwasi, who organised the demonstration against the maternal side, also had this to say.
“I heard Daasebre’s mother’s relatives are stopping the funeral we want to have in Koforidua so I went to his father to ask if it was indeed true. The father confirmed it but added that they have not had a letter from them to that effect so the funeral is happening on April 1.”
Daasebre reportedly had a heart attack at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra on Friday, July 29, 2016.
