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 added that Odo Broni was performing widowhood duties despite not being legally married to Daddy Lumba and was seeking a court declaration that she was his only legal spouse.

Akosua Serwaa’s children address Odo Broni lawsuit
In a statement released on October 15, 2025, and signed by Charlyn Fosuh, Daddy Lumba's children disassociated themselves from their mother’s lawsuit.
Ghanaian social media personality and Lumba family relative, Valentina Agyeiwaa, popularly known as Afia Schwarzenegger, shared the statement on her TikTok account.
DL FM, which was owned by the late singer, also shared the post.
“It has come to our attention that there is an ongoing court process regarding the funeral and burial arrangements of our beloved father, the late Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, affectionately known as Daddy Lumba,” the statement said.
It continued: “We, the children of Akosua Serwaa and Daddy Lumba, wish to clarify that we are not parties to this legal process and that we do not wish to be involved in any disputes or conflicts surrounding the funeral arrangements.”
Daddy Lumba and Akosua Serwaa had been married for 34 years at the time of his death and had welcomed three children, Calvin (31), Charlyn (24), and Ciara (20).
The three children stated that their only wish was for their father to be buried with dignity and in a manner befitting his greatness.
They also sought to unify with other children of Daddy Lumba to refrain from engaging in any undignified behaviour.
“We stand together as his children from all sides of the family, united in our love and respect for our father. At this difficult time, we wish to focus solely on celebrating his legacy and ensuring a fitting farewell,” the statement concluded.

The statement arrived amid the heated legal battle between the late singer's two wives, with questions raised over whether the children actually authored the document or it was a calculated move by the Odo Broni camp to undermine Akosua Serwaa's case.
Entertainment journalist reacts to Lumba's children's statement
In an interview with YEN.com.gh, entertainment journalist and author Vanessa Bless Nordzi addressed the move by Daddy Lumba's children to distance themselves from their mother's lawsuit.
"I understand why the kids are doing that. They just want to bury their late father and move on with their lives. But their mother also wants them to understand that in life, you have to go the extra mile to fight for your loved ones, even if they are dead. So I guess, the kids should stand with their mother rather than abandon her to deal with the legal tussle alone," she said.
