The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has arrested Cyril George Carstensen Lutterodt, popularly known as Counsellor Lutterodt, following remarks in a viral video allegedly inciting some youth to storm the residence of the late highlife musician, Daddy Lumba.
Police investigations indicate that Lutterodt made comments concerning the late musician that were considered offensive and capable of disturbing public peace.
Counsellor Lutterodt has since been granted bail but is expected to appear in court on Wednesday, 11 March 2026.
He faces charges of offensive conduct conducive to breach of the peace under Section 207 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), and incitement to violence under the Criminal Offences Act and the Public Order Act, 1994 (Act 491).
Authorities have urged the public to exercise restraint and avoid acts that could escalate tensions.
