Apostle Francis Amoako Atta of Parliament Chapel International has shared a striking account of his final meeting with Ghanaian highlife artiste Daddy Lumba.
In an interview, the prophet recalled the emotional encounter, describing how the legendary musician, whose real name was Charles Kwadwo Fosu, came to him in a frail state.
“When Daddy came to me, he couldn’t walk. He was in a very bad state. I gave him 21 days,” the prophet stated.
According to Apostle Amoako Atta, the meeting left a profound impression on him. He said it became immediately clear that Lumba’s remaining days were sustained by spiritual grace rather than physical strength or medical intervention.
“Daddy has made such an impact that we need to celebrate him. When I met him, I immediately knew his remaining days on earth were only by grace,” he said.
