The Accra High Court adjourned the case on March 25, 2026, to April 23, 2026, a decision that affects plans initially scheduled by the defendant.
Akosua Serwaa had planned to hold the event on March 28, 2026, at Independence Square in Ghana. Following the adjournment, the event has been put on hold pending the next court session.
Speaking to the media after the ruling, Akosua Serwaa’s lawyer, William Kusi, explained that the adjournment was necessary to respect customs and court procedures. The High Court required more time to properly consider cultural practices associated with the case, which influenced the decision to postpone the ruling.
An injunction was filed by the former family head of the Fosu family, Kofi Owusu, popularly known as Abusuapanin Tupac. He is seeking to halt the planned celebration of life for the music legend.
The adjournment ensures that the court can deliberate fully on matters of tradition and legal propriety before issuing a final decision.

Daddy Lumba's family dispute
Ghanaian highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, died on July 26, 2025, at the age of 60.
He was survived by two wives, Akosua Serwaa and Odo Broni, and a legal tussle quickly broke out between the two over who should be his recognised legal spouse.
Akosua Serwaa took the case before the Kumasi High Court but was defeated when the court refused to declare her as the only wife, instead calling both women as recognised spouses.
Another dispute broke out over Daddy Lumba's funeral, with his immediate family, including his sister, Ernestina Fosuh, calling for his December 2025 funeral to be postponed to allow for an autopsy to be conducted to determine his cause of death.
On December 12, 2025, a day before the funeral, the Accra High Court initially granted an injunction against the funeral but later reversed its decision.
Below is a YouTube video with details of Daddy Lumba's family dispute.
