Nana Kumi Agyare II, the Dadiesaoabahene for the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has warned Akosua Serwaa that her legal case against Daddy Lumba’s family and Odo Broni would fail.

In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, Nana Dadiesoabahene said Asante customs and tradition reign supreme in Asanteland, and that German law has no power to compel them to do what’s wrong.

The Asante subchief spoke after late Ghanaian highlife legend, Daddy Lumba’s first wife, Akosua Serwaa, filed a case in the Kumasi High Court seeking to place an injunction on his funeral.

In the legal case filed on October 2 at the High Court in Kumasi, Akosua Serwaa sued Daddy Lumba’s family head (Abusuapanin) Kofi Owusu, his alleged second wife, Priscilla Ofori Atta, popularly known as Odo Broni, and Transitions Funeral Home.

Akosua Serwaa claimed that Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu had announced a funeral date for her husband without consulting her or considering her needs.

She also accused him of recognising Odo Broni as Daddy Lumba’s widow when she, Akosua Serwaa, was his only legally wedded wife, having married the late musician under German civil law in 2004.

The late singer’s first wife sought a declaration that she was the only legally wedded wife of Daddy Lumba, and for his funeral, scheduled for December 6 at the Baba Yara sports stadium in Kumasi, to be barred from going ahead.
