In a dramatic turn at the Kumasi High Court, lawyers argued that celebrated highlife legend Daddy Lumba — born Charles Kwadwo Fosuh — died a German national, not a Ghanaian, potentially reshaping the bitter dispute over his funeral rites and estate ownership.
At issue is a lawsuit launched by his first wife, Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, who insists she is the only legitimate spouse and claims that under German law, she alone should perform the widowhood and funeral rites.
During proceedings, counsel William Kusi challenged a witness — the family head of the Ekuona clan — who initially stated Lumba was Ghanaian at his death. The lawyer countered that Lumba had legally acquired German citizenship, thereby raising the question of whether Ghanaian customary law could still apply to his burial.
The revelation has stoked fierce controversy, coming at a time when the family and supposed second partner, Priscilla Ofori (aka “Odo Broni”), are locked in competing claims over rights to his body, funeral rites, and estate.
Observers warn that the nationality argument — if upheld — could unsettle traditions in Ghana around death, burial, and family rights, especially in cross-border situations where Ghanaian musicians, like Lumba, spent significant periods abroad.
The court is expected to issue a ruling on these contentious issues soon, a decision that could have far-reaching implications not only for Lumba’s legacy but for broader customary-law practices across the country.
