Ghanaian highlife legend, Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, passed away on July 26, 2025, at the age of 60.
The Aben Wo Ha hitmaker fell ill at his home in East Legon and was rushed to the Bank Hospital in Cantonments, where he passed away.
Daddy Lumba was buried on December 13, 2025, but several disputes arose within his family, particularly concerning which of his two wives, Akosua Serwaa or Odo Broni, should be recognised as his legal spouse.
Akosua Serwaa applies for letters of administration
On January 13, 2026, reports emerged that Akosua Serwaa had filed for letters of administration to be granted control over Daddy Lumba’s estate.
The case, filed before the Kumasi High Court, listed the appellants as Akosua Serwaa, her eldest daughter, Charlyn Fosuh, and the late singer’s sister, Ernestina Fosuh.
The move was halted after lawyers for the late musician’s other wife, Odo Broni, filed for a caveat, a legal notice that effectively freezes the process until the caveator is heard.
Below is an Instagram post with details of the legal filing for letters of administration.
Charlyn Fosuh distances herself from her mother’s case
On January 26, lawyers for Charlyn Fosuh stormed the Kumasi High Court to plead with the court to take her out of the case.
Speaking after the hearing, her lawyers said Charlyn was not consulted before she was added to the case.
The lawyers said she was not interested in joining her mother but instead wanted to maintain a united front with all of Daddy Lumba’s children.
Supporters of Odo Broni hailed the move as a win and another legal defeat for Akosua Serwaa, who continues to face hurdles in her attempt to be recognised as Daddy Lumba’s sole legal wife.
