The children of late highlife icon Daddy Lumba and his first wife, Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, have disassociated themselves from her legal battle with his second wife.
On October 2, 2025, Akosua Serwaa filed a suit at the Kumasi High Court seeking to place an injunction on her late husband’s funeral, which had been scheduled for December 6.
In a statement addressing her decision to sue, Akosua Serwaa said she had been sidelined in funeral preparations by her late husband’s family head (abusuapanin), Kofi Owusu.
She also said Odo Broni was carrying out widowhood duties despite not being married to Daddy Lumba and was seeking a declaration from the court to the effect that she was the late legend’s only legal spouse.
