Ghanaian highlife legend, Daddy Lumba, died on July 26, 2025, at the age of 60.

After his death, his two surviving wives, Akosua Serwaa and Odo Broni, have been embroiled in a battle over his estate.

Despite several court filings seeking to be declared the late singer’s sole surviving wife and to be granted power of attorney over his properties, Akosua Serwaa has been unsuccessful, with the Kumasi High Court failing to rule in her favour.

Amid the ongoing challenges, Papa Shee, a close confidante of Akosua Serwaa and Daddy Lumba’s sister, Ernestina Fosuh, announced that a three-day event would be held to pray for the late singer’s first wife.

Low patronage plagues Papa Shee’s crusade

On Thursday, February 19, the first day of the event, dubbed three days of intercessory prayers for Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, was held at the Obra Spot in Accra.

In a video seen by YEN.com.gh on the TikTok page Awurama First Lady, the venue appeared bare, with many chairs laid out for guests who appeared not to have shown up.

One video showed Papa Shee in a sombre mood as he prepared to start the program despite the apparent low patronage.
