Ghanaian highlife legend, Daddy Lumba, passed away on July 26, 2025, kicking off a legal battle between his two wives.
Akosua Serwaa, based in Germany, filed a lawsuit at the Kumasi High Court, seeking a judgment declaring her as the late musician's sole legal spouse.
Following an expedited trial, Justice Dorinda Smith Arthur ruled against her, declaring she and Daddy Lumba's second wife, Priscilla Ofori, popularly known as Odo Broni, should both be recognised as legitimate spouses.
