Ghanaian highlife legend, Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, passed away on July 26, 2025, at the age of 60.
He was survived by two wives, Akosua Serwaa, whom he married traditionally in 1991 in Ghana and under German civil law in 2004, and Priscilla Ofori Atta, also known as Odo Broni.
Daddy Lumba's funeral service was held at the Heroes Park near the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, on December 13, 2025.
After the musician’s death, a fierce legal battle broke out between the two women over who should be recognised as his legitimate spouse.
Akosua Serwaa filed a lawsuit at the Kumasi High Court seeking to be declared the late singer’s sole legal spouse, arguing that they married under German civil law and that he was barred from taking another wife.
In a judgment delivered on November 29, 2025, the Kumasi High Court ruled that she failed to prove she was married to Daddy Lumba under German law and declared both women to be the legal spouses of the musician.
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.
Akosua Serwaa, just like some immediate members of her late husband's family, also failed to attend Daddy Lumba's funeral service on December 13, 2025, despite her three children showing up.
