The letter questioned Akosua Serwaa’s position as Daddy Lumba’s wife and insisted that the Fosu family recognises Priscilla Ofori, popularly called Odo Broni, as a wife of the late legend.
The letter alleged that Akosua Serwaa abandoned Daddy Lumba when he fell seriously ill and refused to relocate to Ghana to care for him. It further stated that Akosua Serwaa performed customary rites to dissolve the marriage.
On the matter of Daddy Lumba’s estate, the lawyers stated that all his properties are part of his estate and will be jointly managed by the family and his children to ensure fairness. They cautioned all not to interfere with any of his estates until proper legal procedures are completed.
The lawyers added that Daddy Lumba left specific instructions before his demise to help the family carry out his wishes.

@owusu_bryt said:
“So let’s say customarily the marriage was dissolved, but was it dissolved by law? The marriage was bound under the ordinance, and if it wasn’t dissolved by law, then it was still binding until the time of his demise. This is not the way to deal with a legend after his demise!”

“Kasa tenten… Before Obroni was a Theresa and Akosua who toiled to see DL succeed. In fact, my sister was married to DL’s late promoter in Germany/Europe. In all their struggles was Akosua Serwaa. I’ll drop an image of this in 1 day. Broni has played her part, yes, but not legally.”
@bbach234579 said:
“Marriage by ordinance is not dissolved through traditional rites. Unless the lawyers were called to a chop bar, they will know. She is legally married under the ordinance until divorce proceedings are settled in court. If that is not done, Serwaa remains the only wife of Lumba.”
