Akosua Serwaa, the first wife of the late musician Daddy Lumba, has courted attention after a new video of her surfaced on social media.
Akosua Serwaa and her sister-in-law, Ernestina Fosu, have been embroiled in a legal dispute with her sister wife, Odo Broni, and her husband’s family head, Abusuapanin Victor Kofi Owusu Banahene, in recent months.
She filed a lawsuit against Daddy Lumba’s second wife, family head, and the Transitions Funeral Home to seek an interlocutory injunction on her late husband’s funeral, which was scheduled for December 6.
She accused the family head of sidelining her from the funeral committee’s meetings. She also claimed that she only learned of the announced funeral date through social media.
On Tuesday, October 28, 2025, the Kumasi High Court dismissed Akosua Serwaa’s injunction application and gave Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu the go-ahead to proceed with the funeral.
Her Ladyship Justice Dorinda Smith Arthur has also scheduled a Case Management Conference for November 14, regarding Akosua Serwaa’s bid to be declared the only surviving wife of the late Daddy Lumba.
