• The suit centres on statements allegedly questioning the validity of her marriage to the late legend, including claims her marriage certificate was fake
• Akosua Serwaa is demanding GH¢3 million in damages, a public apology, and a court order barring the defendants from repeating the claims

Akosua Serwaa, the first wife of late highlife legend Daddy Lumba, has taken legal action against social media commentator Victor Kofi Owusu, widely known as Abusuapanin Tupac, and Alex Kofi Boadi Ampong, also known as Sir Alex, over a series of statements she alleges have damaged her reputation.

The suit, filed at the High Court in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, identifies Akosua Serwaa as the plaintiff and names both men as defendants.

Court documents indicate the action centres on public statements the defendants allegedly made casting doubt on the legitimacy of her marriage to the late musician, whose full name was Charles Kwadwo Fosuh.

Claims that sparked the lawsuit

Among the specific allegations cited in the court filing are claims that Akosua Serwaa's German marriage certificate was fake, forged or fabricated, and that she was never lawfully married to the deceased under German law.

The defendants are also accused of alleging that she fraudulently misrepresented herself as Daddy Lumba's lawful wife or widow, that her marriage document was manufactured in Ashanti New Town in Kumasi, and that she committed a criminal offence by presenting the certificate as evidence in court proceedings.

Akosua Serwaa is asking the court to declare all the contested statements false and defamatory.

She is also seeking a perpetual injunction to prevent the defendants from publishing, repeating or circulating those claims on any platform, with the filing specifically referencing UTV and TikTok.

What Akosua Serwaa is demanding

Beyond the injunction, the plaintiff wants the defendants to formally retract the statements and issue an unqualified public apology.

The lawsuit represents the latest development in a protracted series of legal disputes involving Daddy Lumba's family since his death, with the validity of Akosua Serwaa's marriage remaining a central and contested issue.
