With this, he opened up about how his client took a loan of 100,000 Deutsch Marks, equivalent to 51,000 euros, after Daddy Lumba left her for Ghana while she was caring for their baby.

Lawyer Kusi disclosed that Akosua Serwaa had still been unable to pay off the loan she took years ago and continues to work at the age of 62.

"If you were Akosua Serwaa, you would understand this: when Lumba left for Ghana, their last-born was still a baby. What Akosua Serwaa told me was that she took out a loan of over 100,000 Deutsch Marks (51,000 euros), which she has still not been able to pay off.
"Today, at 62, she still has to work. All this happened during their marriage, so it is not as simple as they think. She was breastfeeding while the young lady took him (Daddy Lumba) somewhere. She has been deprived for all these years, and now, when the man dies, we are being told that she also has to be a widow. She cannot agree to that."
