Daddy Lumba's family has been involved in a publicised dispute since his demise at 60 on Saturday, July 26, and the one-week observance on August 30.
The late musician's first wife, Akosua Serwaa, filed a lawsuit against her husband's family head, Kofi Owusu, and his Ghana-based partner, Odo Broni.
The suit asked the court to declare Akosua Serwaa the only legal surviving spouse of Daddy Lumba and also bar Odo Broni, known in private life as Priscilla Ofori, from being declared the deceased's wife.
After about a month of proceedings, the Kumasi High Court declined to name Akosua Serwaa the sole legal wife of the late highlife legend, as she had sought.
Why was Akosua Serwaa's case dismissed?
The judge, Justice Dorinda Smith, is reported to have ruled that Akosua Serwaa could not prove that she was Daddy Lumba’s sole legal wife, while Odo Broni was able to prove that she was married traditionally.
According to reports, the judge was not convinced by the marriage certificate presented by Serwaa to support her claims of marrying under the ordinance with Lumba in Germany.
The judge further directed that the Germany-based Serwaa and Odo Broni, known in private life as Priscilla Ofori, be recognised as the spouses of Daddy Lumba and be allowed to perform the widowhood rites.

The judgement did not sit well with Akosua Serwaa's family, as some of them wept as they left the court premises.

In the video, the late singer's first daughter wore an all-black outfit with dark sunglasses as a porter helped her with her luggage while she exited from the terminal to the parking lot.
