Theresa Abebrese’s home
Following the death of highlife legend Daddy Lumba, Ghanaians have begun flocking to a special place tied to his past, Theresa Abebrese’s home, popularly known as the Kotoko Residence.
The house, located in Kumasi, has become an unexpected tourist hotspot, with fans visiting to pay tribute and relive the memory of one of Lumba’s greatest muses.
Theresa Abebrese, who passed away in 2017, was more than a friend to Daddy Lumba; she was a symbol of inspiration, loyalty, and emotional support during a pivotal time in his life.
Their bond was immortalised in one of Lumba’s most iconic love songs, “Theresa,” which he openly dedicated to her. The track, filled with raw emotion and affection, remains a favourite among fans and stands as a testament to how much Theresa meant to the late singer.
In recent days, videos and photos have surfaced showing fans standing outside the Kotoko Residence, some taking pictures at the gate, while others quietly record videos of the building, which somewhat resembles an abandoned structure.
