Akosua Serwaa’s Injunction Application on Daddy Lumba’s Funeral Adjourned

The Kumasi High Court 5 has adjourned an injunction application filed by Akosua Serwaa, wife of Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, to October 28.

She is seeking to be recognised as the only surviving spouse of the late Ghanaian music legend and asking the court to declare her as the lawful and surviving spouse of the late musician and to affirm that she alone holds the legal right to perform widowhood rites.

She is further praying the court to restrain the head of the Lumba family, Kofi Owusu Fosu, from recognizing or engaging with the second defendant, Priscilla Ofori Atta, also known as Odo Broni, as a spouse of the deceased.

The plaintiff also wants the court to bar Odo Broni from publicly presenting herself as the surviving wife of Daddy Lumba.

During Thursday’s sitting, counsel for the first defendant filed an application challenging the legal capacity of the plaintiff, urging the court to make a determination on the matter before proceeding.

The court presided over by Her Ladyship Justice Dorinda Smith Arthur, drew attention to an appearance application filed by the parties and directed the respective lawyers to file all responses and applications by October 28.

In a brief remark, the presiding judge encouraged both parties and their families to seek an amicable resolution, citing the significant legacy and national stature of the late Daddy Lumba.

The case, which has attracted public attention due to the high-profile nature of the parties involved, will resume later this month for further proceedings.
