The never-ending controversies surrounding the death of Highlife legend Daddy Lumba have taken yet another twist after an associate of the family, Papa Shee, levelled some allegations against Lumba’s ‘mistress’, Odo Broni.
According to Papa Shee, Odo Broni conducted Daddy Lumba’s post-mortem examination without the knowledge or consent of his family.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM, Papa Shee claimed, “We had a meeting after the one-week observation for Lumba, and that was when it came as a shock to us that the post-mortem had already been done. That was when it was disclosed, and when we asked, the family head didn’t know anything about it. Akosua Serwaa didn’t know, and even Lumba’s sister had no idea.
“It was at that meeting we all found out that the lady who was living with Lumba, Odo Broni, was the one who went ahead with the post-mortem without informing the family or his original wife. Odo Broni was the one who signed for the post-mortem, and her sister stood in as a witness. She has since admitted to it, saying she didn’t know she was supposed to inform the family,” Papa Shee said.
Meanwhile, the lawyer for Akosua Serwaa’s lawyer, William Kusi, has quizzed Ghanaians about whether a slay queen can be a widow or perform widowhood rites.
William Kusi questioned Odo Broni’s legitimacy, referring to her as a “slay queen”.
In a viral video shortly after court proceedings, amidst the legal dispute over Daddy Lumba’s widowhood rights, Akosua Serwaa’s lawyer speaking to the media stated, “I ask, can a slay queen be a widow? I’m asking the Akans, can a slay queen perform widowhood rites? So slayqueens and people who snatch other women’s husbands have no business with widowhood rites.”
“Akosuah Serwaa is at peace; she has no problem with anybody. If you even check social media, the people sympathising with Akosua Serwaa are a lot. Anyone who is not a slay queen supports her,” he stated.
Also, the legal team of Daddy Lumba’s wife, Akosua Serwaa, has issued a press release warning the family head of the late musician, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, and his associates.
On October 16, 2025, a statement signed by the Fosuh family, Akosua Serwaa, mentioned that the body of the late highlife legend must remain at the Transition Funeral Home in Haatso until the court gives its final ruling on the legal dispute.
Parts of the statement read, “Pending the court’s final determination, no person or group, including Mr Kofi Owusu (the Abusua Panyin) and his associates, has the lawful right to claim or remove the body of the deceased from the Transition Funeral Home in Haatso, Accra. Any such act would amount to a violation of ongoing court proceedings and could attract serious legal consequences”.
“The Fosuh family remains confident that the rule of law will prevail and that the dignity of the late Mr Charles Fosuh will be protected. They also believe that the outcome of this case will serve as an important legal precedent, reinforcing the rights of lawful spouses and women in similar situations across Ghana,” the statement added.
In related news, the High Court in Kumasi has adjourned the hearing of an injunction application filed by Akosua Serwaa, the wife of the late Daddy Lumba, to October 28.
The case was presided over by Her Ladyship Justice Dorinda Smith Arthur.
