In a recent interview with media personality Tony Best on Kumasi-based Akoma FM, the family head noted that he and his relatives had undertaken the necessary steps before their recent public announcement.
Mr Kofi Owusu stated that the family had created a social media group and had visited President John Dramani Mahama and Otumfuo Osei Tutu II before finalising their plans for the funeral service at Heroes Park in December.
He also explained the reasons behind the family's decision to hold the solemn event elsewhere instead of the main pitch at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Daddy Lumba's Abusuapanin ignores Akosua Serwaa's injunction
During the interview, Mr Kofi Owusu was asked about the court injunction from Daddy Lumba's first wife, Akosua Serwaa.
In response, he noted that he and his family had not gone to court to ascertain the existence of a court injunction against them.
He boldly stated that there was no injunction prohibiting his family from proceeding with the funeral for their late relative.
He said:
"For us, we have not gone to court to see whether there is an injunction. There is no injunction on the funeral. We would be summoned to court if it were true. Since the court hasn't called us, we cannot accept that it is true."
Daddy Lumba's family head later appeared to contradict himself by confirming the reports as he explained some of the arguments raised in Akosua Serwaa's court injunction.
He noted that the late musician's first wife disagreed with the family's decision to also include the second wife, Odo Broni, in the performance of the widowhood rites during the funeral service.
Mr Kofi Owusu noted that, despite Akosua Serwaa's objection, traditional customs demanded that she and her co-wife participate in the widowhood rites.
He said:
"The injunction relates to the widowhood rites matter. It is about the issues between the wives. She insists on being the sole participant in performing the rites. However, the Ashanti traditions also dictate that the persons married to the deceased are entitled to perform the widowhood rites."
He stated that his investigations had proven that Odo Broni was legally married to Daddy Lumba before his demise and that some individuals behind the scenes were the ones creating problems for the family.

Counsellor on Abusuapanin and Akosua Serwaa's dispute
Speaking to YEN.com.gh in an interview, Ama Nsroma, counsellor and head of the Nsroma Consult, spoke about Daddy Lumba's family head's dispute with Akosua Serwaa.
She also shared some steps the extended family can take to promote healing and reconciliation amid a potentially divisive situation, such as the one involving Daddy Lumba's funeral.
Counsellor Ama Nsroma also shared her thoughts on how traditional customs and rites, which are central to the dispute, should be balanced to ensure that her grievances are properly addressed.
She said:
"In a situation like this, where traditional rites are at the centre of disagreement, the extended family must focus on reconciliation rather than accusation."
"They can begin by acknowledging the concerns of all parties, especially the widow, and inviting elders, traditional leaders, or family heads to mediate."
"Healing comes when everyone feels heard and respected. Balancing customs with compassion is key—performing the rites in a way that honours tradition while considering the emotional and spiritual needs of those directly affected. Ultimately, unity and understanding should be the goal, not division."

Details of the injunction from the court documents surfaced on social media on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
In an alleged press statement from Akosua Serwaa released on social media, she claimed she was not consulted in planning her late husband's funeral.
She said she had been repeatedly disrespected since her husband’s passing and described finding out her husband’s burial date on social media as distressing.
