Attorney Kusi stressed that, contrary to public perception, it is Akosua Serwaa who is truly suffering in this matter, while Odo Broni has been mistakenly portrayed as the victim.
"Those making noise should realise that Akosua Serwaa, not Odo Broni, is the victim. The person who is the victim is Akosua Serwaa."
He added that Serwaa had been raising three children in a foreign country without support for 15 years.
“Do you believe it’s simple?" he asked.

Akosua Serwaa's lawyer claims Abusuapanin instigated conflict
Speaking to the press, Kusi claimed that initial remarks made by Daddy Lumba’s Abusuapanin led Akosua Serwaa to file the lawsuit.
He claimed that the family head had drafted letters denying his client her rightful status as a widow, which she could not ignore.

"She wishes this had never occurred; she is really disappointed. Unfortunately, the family head made his stance clear from the start. That’s the root of the issue.
"I’m sure you wouldn’t remain silent if letters were sent to you depriving you of your rights as a wife," he added.

Akosua Serwaa files lawsuit against Odo Broni
Akosua Serwaa's lawyer made the remarks after court filings disclosed that Akosua Serwaa is seeking a declaration that she is the only surviving legal spouse of Daddy Lumba.
She also sought an order prohibiting Odo Broni and Kofi Owusu Fosu (the head of the external family) from presenting anyone else but her as the wife or performing widowhood rites.
In earlier statements, Kusi warned that Serwaa’s succession rights could be threatened if Odo Broni is legally recognised as the late musician's widow.

He further claimed that Serwaa’s exclusion from funeral decisions was part of a long-standing pattern of marginalisation.
He added that before the disputes began, the first wife was made to believe that Odo Broni was merely a housekeeper.
The court is set to determine on October 28 whether to grant an injunction to halt Daddy Lumba's funeral arrangements.
Odo Broni may face bigamy charges
As earlier reported by YEN.com.gh, Akosua Serwaa's lawyer, William Kusi, claimed that Odo Broni could face bigamy charges.
He cautioned that credible evidence could prove she knowingly wed Daddy Lumba despite knowing that he was already legally married.
Social media users have since reacted to a trending video of the court session, with Kusi's claims about Odo Broni going viral online.
