Late Ghanaian Highlife icon Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba
Amid the ongoing controversies surrounding the demise of Ghanaian Highlife icon Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, new details have emerged following a court appearance today.
On November 21, 2025, the family of the late Daddy Lumba appeared before a Kumasi High Court after the late musician’s first wife, Akosua Serwaa, dragged his mistress, Odo Broni, to court.
Akosua Serwaa, who is currently in a legal tussle with Odo Broni, is praying the court to declare her the sole widow in the burial preparations, among other requests.
Aside from the dispute between the musician’s wives, the late Lumba’s Abusuapanyin, Kofi Owusu, has also been implicated in allegations, including withdrawing GH¢30,000 from the singer’s burial contributions to fund hotel bills during his stay in Accra.

However, during today’s court proceedings, some youth of the Parkoso community demanded that the late Lumba’s Abusuapanyin, Kofi Owusu, refrain from involving himself in all burial preparations.
According to a member of the group identified as Yaw Obese, the Abusuapanyin is tarnishing the reputation of the late Highlife legend.
“We are from Parkoso, and we are here today not to fight but to demand that Abusuapanyin remove himself from Lumba’s burial preparations and also bury him at Parkoso because that is where Lumba comes from.
“What Abusuapanyin is doing is tainting the community’s image. We have heard him say that there is no land where he can give him (Lumba) a resting place, so we don’t need to involve him in the funeral ceremony,” he said.
