Offering clarity, he referenced a letter from a lawyer representing an interested party in the matter, which stated that Daddy Lumba had made a will regarding the distribution of his properties before his passing.
“She has been through a lot. She stayed all these years as a married woman, and people don’t want her to speak. This is the right time for her to take her pound of flesh, so her action is justifiable. If she did not receive emotional fulfillment from Lumba, she deserves to get material benefit from him,” Lawyer Kusi said.
He further indicated that his client, Akosua Serwaa, also supported Lumba financially in the construction of their matrimonial home.
“The matrimonial home Daddy Lumba built was not solely funded by him. She also contributed financially, so if Lumba included it in his will, it would not be fair. It wouldn’t be right for him to will property that belongs to both of them,” he emphasised.
In the letter, the lawyer indicated that Lumba’s documents, which included his will, had an individual who intended to have it read at an appropriate time.
As counsel for Akosua Serwaa, Lawyer Kusi revealed plans to ensure that no forged document is presented under the guise of being Lumba’s authentic will.

“When those stories start circulating, we have to be vigilant and make sure no one prepares any fraudulent document claiming it was made by Lumba,” he cautioned.
Akosua Serwaa has filed a lawsuit against Daddy Lumba’s family head, Transitions Funeral Home, and Odo Broni following the announcement of her late husband’s funeral date.
