Why Kumasi High Court said ‘Odo Broni’ was not a ‘mere’ sidechick to Daddy Lumba [ FULL JUDGMENT]

December 1, 2025

The High Court in Kumasi last week declared that both Akosua Serwaa Fosuh and Priscilla Ofori [Odo Broni] were duly married to the late Ghanaian musician, Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba.

The court, presided over by Justice Dorinda Smith Arthur, consequently, dismissed the claim of Akosua Serwaa in a suit which prayed the court to declare her as the sole wife of the late entertainer and to be the one to be allowed to perform the widowhood rites.

It was the view of Akosua Serwaa that the legendary Daddy Lumba married her under the Ordinance Law (Civil Marriage) and was, therefore, the only surviving wife of the musician.
