Akosua Serwaa has expressed heartfelt gratitude to her supporters as she continues her legal battle with the family of the late highlife legend, Daddy Lumba.
In a video shared on social media and sighted by MyNewsGh, Serwaa, who describes herself as the sole surviving wife of the musician, thanked fans, sympathisers and “legal wives” who have rallied behind her in recent months.
“There were so many people I didn’t even know loved me this much,” she said in the video.
“I want to thank Papa Shee and all Ghanaians on social media who have stood solidly behind me. You have encouraged me to keep fighting for justice so that I will rightfully be recognised as the only surviving wife of my late husband.”
Serwaa also dismissed the legitimacy of Lumba’s longtime partner, Odo Broni, insisting that public support has strengthened her resolve to ensure she is the one permitted to perform widowhood rites.
“I am not relenting on my efforts despite the recent court case,” she stressed, urging her followers to remain united. “Let us all come together and ensure that I triumph in this ongoing matter.”
Her message comes shortly after the court rejected her claim that her marriage to Daddy Lumba was an ordinance marriage, a status that would have legally barred the musician from entering into any other marriage.
Her lawyer, William Kusi, speaking to Accra-based Citi FM, confirmed that the legal team will challenge the ruling.
“We will file the appeal by the end of the day,” he said, adding that the High Court “erred in its judgment.” According to him, “the supporting documents and admissions from the defendants” strongly backed Serwaa’s position.
Kusi also responded to criticisms suggesting that the legal team mishandled procedural aspects of the case, including concerns about certifying the marriage certificate through a German official.
He rejected the claims, explaining that Ghanaian law allows “multiple legitimate means” of submitting and authenticating such documents. “We followed due process,” he maintained.
