In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, following the first hearing in the court case brought by Daddy Lumba’s first wife, Akosua Serwaa, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu pleaded for peace to reign and for an amicable settlement to be reached in the case.
Akosua Serwaa’s legal team and Daddy Lumba’s sister, Ernestina Fosu, appeared before the Kumasi High Court on October 16, 2025.
The late singer’s first wife sued Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu and Odo Broni, accusing them of sidelining her in preparations for her late husband’s funeral.
She sought an injunction to be placed on the funeral and for a declaration that she was the late singer's sole legal wife.
After a short deliberation, the trial judge postponed the case to October 28.
Below is a Facebook post with details of the court's decision.

Blogger reacts to Abusuapanin's plea for peace
In an interview with YEN.com.gh, blogger Chris Kofi Osei addressed Abusuapanin's shift in tone regarding the Akosua Serwaa court case.
"Frankly speaking, his current posture and call for peace are both funny and commendable. Funny in the sense that earlier reports suggested that he felt his views were not to be questioned with regard to the funeral and final rites of the late legendary Ghanaian highlife musician; however, after he came face-to-face with the law, it appears he has changed his stance." Chris Osei Kofi said.
He added that Abusuapanin should be commended for his new stance.
"It is quite commendable of Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu because this appeal for peace, if it is heeded to, will provide the much-needed turn in what has been the tense issues surrounding Daddy Lumba’s funeral arrangements. His current call for unity and dialogue rather than confrontation, I believe, will do the magic to see the legend get a befitting burial so his legacy will continue to live on," he added.
