On a printed banner at the entrance of the school, the late Daddy Lumba, who passed away on July 26, was hailed as a hero.
“Charles Kwadwo Fosu, aka Daddy Lumba, our hero, your alma mater bids you farewell,” the banner read.
Students from the school gathered at their assembly hall with lit candles and sang what appeared to be their national anthem.
After, they embarked on a procession with the school’s brass band leading the pack.
Daddy Lumba attended Juaben Senior High School after a short stint at Adu Gyamfi Senior High School. He completed his secondary education in 1984.
The highlife great met his childhood sweetheart, Theresa, in high school.
