Marriage counsellor George Lutterodt has confirmed that he was invited by the police after controversial remarks he made about the burial location of highlife legend Daddy Lumba triggered public outrage.
The issue gained attention after reports circulated across Ghanaian media suggesting that Lutterodt had been arrested in connection with statements he made about where the late musician was buried.
The backlash followed the circulation of a video in which Counsellor Lutterodt urged Ga youth to go to a residence in East Legon with pickaxes and dig up Daddy Lumba’s remains if it proved true that the musician had been buried there.
