Ernestina joined Akosua Serwaa to file an interlocutory injunction to stop the family from proceeding with the funeral, scheduled for December 6, 2025.
In the lawsuit, Daddy Lumba's first wife accused her husband's family head, Kofi Owusu, of sidelining her to the point that she only learned of the announced funeral date through social media.
In subsequent press statements, Akosua Serwaa and Ernestina also made some severe allegations regarding the cause of the late musician's demise.
Court dismisses Akosua Serwaa's injunction application
On Tuesday, October 28, 2025, the Kumasi High Court dismissed Akosua Serwaa's injunction application after she filed a suit against Daddy Lumba's family head, Victor Kofi Owusu Banahene, co-wife, Odo Broni, and Transition Funeral Homes.
Her Ladyship Justice Dorinda Smith Arthur ruled in favour of the late musician's Abusuapanin, who has been given the green light to proceed with the funeral arrangements as originally planned.
The Kumasi High Court also ordered both parties to file all necessary legal processes by Friday, October 31, for a Case Management Conference scheduled for November 14, regarding Akosua Serwaa's bid to be declared the only surviving wife of the late musician.

She said:
"The funeral will not be held on December 6. We did not seek an injunction because we are mad. We still don't know what killed my brother. We cannot allow people to rush with his funeral.
"There will be no problem if we find out about the cause of Daddy Lumba's death before December 6. But, if we don't find out what killed my brother, I won't allow my family to bury my brother, Charles."
Ernestina stated that she did not trust the autopsy report of his brother's death since some individuals could have forged it.
She noted that she represented her siblings as the eldest child of her family to reject the plans of their Abusuapanin and other members of the funeral committee to hold the funeral.
Daddy Lumba's elder sister alleged that some individuals had used her brother's demise to secure secret deals with brands and claim significant amounts of money for themselves.
