Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Ejisu, John Kumah’s widow, Apostle Lilian Owusu, stirred controversy on social media on December 19, 2025, when news emerged that she had gotten married a year and nine months after her husband’s death.
Lilian Owusu married Samuel Aryeequaye at a private wedding ceremony held in Obuasi in the Ashanti Region.
The low-key event was attended by close family members, friends, and church associates as the General Overseer of Disciples of Christ Ministries entered a new chapter of her life.
John Kumah’s brother addresses widow’s marriage
After the news of Apostle Lilian Owusu’s marriage to Gideon Aryeequaye went viral, the late MP’s brother spoke out to address the issue.
In a video seen by YEN.com.gh on the TikTok page Koforidua Flowers on December 22, the late MP’s brother slammed the widow for getting remarried so soon after his death.
He said John Kumah was buried late in May 2024 after his death in March, so his widow officially began her widowhood period in June 2024.
Ministries' said culturally, a widow was supposed to mourn for a year, which ended in June 2025.
He argued that there was no way she met her new husband after June and had already decided to tie the knot in December, so he felt suspicious that she started dating at a time she was supposed to be mourning.
John Kumah’s brother also said that the politician met his wife when she had nothing and changed things around for her, encouraging her to further her education and funding the construction of an ultramodern church auditorium for her, located at Weija in Accra, to support her ministry.
Below is the TikTok video of John Kumah’s brother blasting his widow.
Video of Apostle Lilian Owusu’s church surfaces
Amid the controversy over her new marriage, a video showing the majestic church building John Kumah reportedly built for his wife in Weija has surfaced on social media.
The video showed Apostle Lilian Owusu fashionably dressed as she walked around the Disciples of Christ Ministries' Official mega auditorium.
The camera showed the building in its full glory and also took shots of the grand entrance.
According to reports, Apostle Lilian Owusu outdoored the new church building in September 2025 with a mega rally attended by prominent preachers, including Reverend Eastwood Anaba and Reverend Dr Kwadwo Bempah.

Journalist slams 'double-standards' against Lilian Owusu
In an interview with YEN.com.gh, journalist Stella Annan addressed the ongoing debate surrounding Apostle Lilian Owusu's decision to remarry after her husband's death.
"This situation is a telling reflection of societal double standards. If the roles were reversed and the man had moved on, there would likely have been little criticism. Yet, because she is a woman, she faces intense scrutiny.
"That phase of life—losing a partner—is profoundly painful and unbearable. However, she has decided to gather the pieces of her life and move forward. Marriage vows state "till death do us part." If, unfortunately, one partner is gone, she is well within her rights to forge ahead and rebuild her life. This decision does not deserve criticism but rather respect," she said.
