The late musician's first wife received a rousing reception from her supporters, including media personalities Ohemaa Woyeje and Sally Mann, at the Kotoka International Airport after she touched down in Accra.
Former hiplife musician turned evangelist Papa Shee, businessman Kennedy Agyapong (Kenpong), and some immediate family members of the late Daddy Lumba were present to welcome Akosua Serwaa following his arrival.
Her return to Ghana came almost a month after the burial service of her late husband at the Heroes Park in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, on Saturday, December 13, 2026, which she and other family members declined to attend over disputes over the funeral arrangements and widowhood rites.
However, Akosua Serwaa's three children, Calvin, Charlyn, and Ciara, were present to bid farewell to their late father at the solemn event.

Akosua Serwaa breaks silence after Ghana return
In a press release shared by blogger Big Scout Prempeh on his official Facebook page on Saturday, January 10, 2026, Akosua Serwaa reflected on her journey from Germany to Ghana.
Daddy Lumba's first widow expressed her gratitude to her supporters and the family of her late husband for the tremendous support she received from them after her flight landed at the Kotoka International Airport.
Akosua Serwaa also thanked the airport authorities and the Ghana Police Service, who provided her security from the airport to Kenpong's residence in Accra.

Daddy Lumba's family dispute and court case
Daddy Lumba's family has been involved in a publicised dispute since his demise at 60 on July 26, 2025, and the one-week observance, which was also held on Saturday, August 30.
Amid the confusion, the late musician's first wife, Akosua Serwaa, filed a lawsuit against her husband's family head, Kofi Owusu, and his Ghana-based wife, Odo Broni.
In her lawsuit, she asked the court to declare her the only legal surviving spouse of Daddy Lumba and also bar his second wife, known privately 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 be recognised as the spouses of Daddy Lumba and be allowed to perform the widowhood rites.
The court's decision did not satisfy the late musician's first widow, who has since filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal in Ghana.
