Akosua Serwaa's suit against Daddy Lumba's family

Akosua Serwaa filed the suit claiming to have been excluded from the funeral preparations for her husband, who passed away on July 26, 2025.

In her statement of claims, Akosua Serwaa accused Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu of sidelining her to the point that she only learned of the announced funeral date through social media.

She also dismissed the claim of Priscilla Ofori Atta, a.k.a. Odo Broni, who is known to have six children with the deceased, of being Daddy Lumba's spouse, emphasising that she [Serwaa] remains the only woman legally married to the musician under German law.

Lumba's family, in a letter signed by Fati Ali-Yallah of Baba Jamal & Associates, responded to Akosua Serwaa, stating that she had no authority to tell the family how to conduct Daddy Lumba's funeral.

Claiming that Serwaa had returned her head drink, and thus traditionally dissolved her marriage with Lumba in 2018, the family declared Odo Broni as the only legitimate widow to undergo the widowhood rites.

At the second hearing, the court quashed Akosua Serwaa's injunction application.

According to lawyers for Daddy Lumba's Ghana-based partner, Odo Broni, and Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, they made the superior submissions, and the court heard their prayers.

One of the attorneys stated that the court's ruling means that Lumba's family, led by Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, can proceed with organising the funeral and assigning roles to any person as they deem fit.

"As we stand here, there is absolutely no injunction on the body of Daddy Lumba. The family has absolute (discretion) to make any determination [including] the role they will assign to any person," the lawyers told the media.
