The latest hearing in the case between Akosua Serwaa and her late husband’s second wife, Priscilla Ofori Atta, popularly known as Odo Broni, occurred at the Kumasi High Court on November 11.
Akosua Serwaa, who married Daddy Lumba in the early 1990s, has sued Odo Broni, with whom the musician lived and welcomed six children in the latter part of his life.
She has asked the Kumasi High Court to declare her as Daddy Lumba’s sole legal spouse and, subsequently, the only person allowed to perform widowhood rites at his funeral.
Akosua Serwaa presents evidence of Lumba marriage
According to Evangelist Papa Shee, a close friend and confidante of both Daddy Lumba and Akosua Serwaa, her legal team provided irrefutable proof that she was married to the late musician during the November 11 hearing.
He said the proof included her photos of her traditional wedding with Daddy Lumba in Ghana in 1991 and their civil wedding in Germany in 2004, as well as their civil marriage certificate from German authorities.
Papa Shee added that they also presented photos and videos from Akosua Serwaa’s mother’s funeral in 2018, during which Daddy Lumba performed the necessary rites as a son-in-law, proving they were married.
He added that other pieces of evidence would be added and called on all supporters of Akosua Serwaa to feel assured that they would secure victory.
