In a strongly worded statement released on October 9, Akosua Serwaa accused family head Kofi Owusu of sidelining her and said she only learned of her late husband's funeral date through social media.
Amid the litigation, Akosua Serwaa’s lawyer, William Kusi, accused the Abusuapanin of misappropriating funds raised during Daddy Lumba’s one-week observance, which was held on August 31, 2025, at the Black Star Square in Accra.
In an interview with Peace FM journalist Akwasi Aboagye, Lawyer William Kusi claimed that he had learned from close members of the Fosuh family that a CAL bank account set up to raise funds was being used by the family head for his personal needs.
He alleged that Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu had spent over GH₵28,000 on hotel bills and called for accountability from the funeral committee.

Following the allegations, a video of Abusuapanin addressing the allegations resurfaced on social media.
He emphatically stated that he paid his own hotel bills because he wanted privacy during his time in Accra.
The family head also batted away questions over why he did not stay in one of Daddy Lumba's properties in Accra, noting that he did not want to disturb the bereaved Odo Broni and her children.
