In a TikTok Live session later shared on Instagram by Mari Gyata on March 27, the visibly upset young man, part of the tagged group team legal, recounted his experience after requesting a refund for the money he paid for a cloth for Daddy Lumba’s celebration of life.
According to him, the cloth, which he said cost $1,000, had become unnecessary due to uncertainty surrounding the scheduled event on Saturday, March 28.
He also explained that the limited time left made it difficult to decide on a style and find a place to sew the outfit, prompting his decision to opt out.

Onyankopon demands a refund for Lumba’s cloth
Onyankopon stated that the team responsible for selling the cloth responded to his request and directed him to a location to process the refund. However, he indicated that he was not informed about the specific requirements needed to facilitate a smooth verification process.
He explained that on the day of the meeting, he presented the receipt he had received, believing it would be sufficient. The team declined to refund the money, insisting that a reference number was required to complete the process.
The situation, he noted, left him frustrated, as he believed the setback was not his fault and that his time had been wasted.
“I will definitely take this money back with all the coins on it. I won’t leave it for them, and God can [expletive] me if I ever wear their cloth,” he said, expressing his displeasure during the live session, while some viewers attempted to calm him down.
Lawyer advises Akosua Serwaa to abandon case
Meanwhile, Mary Ohenewaa Afful Esq, a Ghanaian lawyer, has shared her professional views on the ongoing injunction regarding the late music icon Daddy Lumba’s celebration of life event.
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.
