Akosua Serwaa filed an injuction against the final funeral rite of Daddy Lumba
William Kusi, legal counsel for Akosua Serwaa, the estranged wife of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba, has cautioned that recognising Odo Broni as a widow of the musician would have serious legal implications for his client.
In an interview with Top Radio on October 9, 2025, Lawyer Kusi explained that such a move would affect Akosua Serwaa’s inheritance rights and diminish her lawful entitlement to her late husband’s estate.
He noted that under Ghanaian law, a man cannot have two legally recognised wives if his marriage was contracted under the Ordinance, which, he said, was the case with Daddy Lumba and Akosua Serwaa.

According to him, any suggestion that the late musician had another wife while still married to Akosua Serwaa holds no legal basis.
“He is speaking out of ignorance. Under the Ordinance, one cannot marry another. Even if he did, that would mean he was having an affair because the law does not allow a second marriage,” Lawyer Kusi said, referring to claims by Kofi Owusu Fosu, the head of Daddy Lumba’s family, that the musician had two wives.
Expanding on his point, the lawyer stated that only Akosua Serwaa is recognised by law as the legitimate spouse. Any other relationship, including that with Odo Broni, he argued, cannot be considered a legal marriage.
Addressing calls for his client to allow Odo Broni to be acknowledged as a co-widow out of respect or harmony, Lawyer Kusi insisted that doing so would jeopardise his client’s rightful share of her late husband’s estate.
“It has ramifications when it comes to the distribution of property, so we can’t let that go. Akosua Serwaa was the one he began life with, and she is entitled to part of Lumba’s properties. The law allows her to have an equal share with the children in the matrimonial property and 3/16 of the residue. That portion will be lost if she allows Odo Broni to be recognised as a spouse. That would mean she would be sharing that part with Odo Broni. She deserves everything,” he explained.
On October 2, 2025, Akosua Serwaa filed a court injunction against Kofi Owusu Fosu, Transitions Funeral Home, and Odo Broni.
The suit seeks to halt the funeral preparations for the late musician and restrain Odo Broni from presenting herself as Daddy Lumba’s widow.
Court documents filed by Akosua Serwaa, which surfaced on social media on October 9, 2025, reveal that she is asking the High Court in Kumasi to declare her as the only lawful wife of the late musician.
Ghana has lost one of its most cherished musical icons Daddy Lumba on July 26, 2025 at the Bank Hospital and his burial is scheduled to take place on December 6, 2025 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
