According to reports by officialBBCGhana on Instagram, she provided blunt advice on the legal dispute, highlighting its potential long-term consequences.
In her assessment, the legal battle between Akosua Serwaa and Papa Shee could stretch for as long as 20 years before reaching any final resolution. By that time, she noted, Akosua Serwaa could be around 80 years old, still entangled in courtroom proceedings over the same dispute.
Lawyer Ohenewaa argued that the emotional and time investment required may not justify continuing the fight. She urged Akosua Serwaa to consider stepping away from the case, leaving the legal battles behind, and focusing on living a peaceful life, potentially by returning to Germany and starting anew.
Her comments have since ignited public debate. Some commentators question whether delaying justice should equate to abandoning it, while others agree that prioritising peace of mind can sometimes be a greater victory than pursuing protracted legal battles.

The chief subsequently appointed Abusuapanyin Kwabena Brefo as the family head, who has instructed the family’s lawyers to discontinue the case against the planned Celebration of Life to be held on March 28 and 29, 2026.
The news of Abusuapanin’s removal and the new family head’s call emerged after the Accra High Court on March 25, 2026, granted Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu’s injunction against the planned Celebration of Life and adjourned the substantive case to April 23, 2026
It now remains unclear what would happen in relation to the planned event.

Abusuapanin's lawyers warn against Akosua Serwaa celebration
In a statement, Baba Jamal and Associates, the legal representatives for Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, have warned against any event being held on March 29 and 30, celebrating anyone.
The statement was released after the Accra High Court's decision adjourning the injunction case, which prompted Papa Shee to state that instead of Daddy Lumba, they were going to celebrate Akosua Serwaa.
"The High Court in Accra has granted an interlocutory injunction stopping a planned Celebration of Life event scheduled for March 28 and 29, 2026, at Independence Square. By upholding this injunction, the Court totally prohibits any attempt to proceed with the celebration of life or any such event," the statement said.
"The organisers, venue providers, and active participants are hereby cautioned that defying this order constitutes contempt of court, which is punishable by law," it added.
