Daddy Lumba gave us instructions on how to bury him and manage his properties before he died, so make steady for there — Late singer’s family warns Akosua Serwah
The family of late Highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, has issued a firm warning to all individuals, especially his estranged wife Akosua Serwah, to refrain from making claims or attempting to take possession of any of the musician’s properties.
The Fosu Royal Family of Parkoso and Nsuta revealed that Daddy Lumba had left behind specific instructions on how his funeral should be conducted and how his estate should be handled before his passing in a new statement released through their solicitors.
According to the statement, “All his properties form part of his estate which the family, together with the children and their mothers, shall work together to ensure fair distribution to all who are entitled to benefit.”
The family further cautioned that no individual has the right to unilaterally access, sell, or occupy any of the late singer’s assets until the estate has been legally administered.
They added that their focus is on respecting Daddy Lumba’s wishes and ensuring a dignified funeral in accordance with his directives.
“To avoid any unproductive litigation among the family and children that may result in shame for the dead, the Fosu family is open to peaceful discussions… but until then, let all persons stay away from the properties,” the statement read.
The caution follows claims reportedly made by Akosua Serwah, who is based in Germany, regarding her entitlement to Daddy Lumba’s estate and funeral arrangements.
The Fosu Royal Family, however, stated that Akosua Serwah deserted the musician more than a decade ago when he fell ill and later presented drinks in line with Akan custom to formally end the marriage.
In contrast, the family affirmed that Priscilla Ofori, popularly known as Odo Broni, who lived with the musician during his later years and cared for him until his death, is recognized as his legitimate wife.
“It is our clear instruction to state that Odo Broni is a recognized wife of the late Daddy Lumba and same is recognized by the Fosu Royal Family,” the statement concluded.
