High-profile media personality and relationship coach Cyril George Carstensen Lutterodt, popularly known as Counsellor Lutterodt, has been arrested and detained by the Ghana Police Service.
The arrest follows allegations that Lutterodt’s recent public utterances transitioned from provocative commentary into criminal conduct.
Before his detention, Lutterodt publicly claimed that the body of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba had been buried at the musician’s private residence in East Legon.
In a move that authorities view as a direct threat to public order, Lutterodt reportedly called on Ga youth to storm the property with pickaxes to exhume the body rather than waiting for police intervention.
He argued that burying the musician at what he described as an “unapproved location” on Ga land was an act of disrespect that required immediate local action.
Lutterodt is currently facing a series of serious charges under Ghanaian law.
According to police sources, he is being investigated for:
Inciting Violence: Under the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29) and the Public Order Act, 1994 (Act 491).
Offensive Conduct: Specifically, conduct conducive to a breach of the peace under Section 207 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
From Social Media Backlash to Criminal Charges
Known for his abrasive and often polarizing views on marriage and social dynamics, Lutterodt is no stranger to public outcry.
However, this legal intervention marks a significant escalation from social media “cancellations” to formal criminal proceedings.
Authorities suggest that his latest remarks were not merely controversial but potentially dangerous, threatening to destabilize public order by inciting vigilante action.
The Ghana Police Service is expected to provide a formal update as the investigation progresses.
If the case proceeds to court, the “Counsellor” could face significant legal penalties if found guilty of inciting violence or breaching the peace.
Note: This is a developing story. We will provide updates as more details emerge from the Ghana Police Service.
