Shortly after court proceedings, amidst the legal dispute over Daddy Lumba’s widowhood rights, Akosua Serwaa’s lawyer, William Kusi, questioned the legitimacy of Odo Broni’s role, asking whether someone labelled a “slay queen” could rightfully perform widowhood rites.
In a video sighted by GhanaWeb, Kusi, speaking after the first court hearing on Thursday, October 16, 2025, revealed that the defence (Odo Broni)’s team has filed a motion contesting Akosua Serwaa’s capacity to go ahead with the suit.
Speaking to the media on this development, the lawyer said, “We arrived at court and we got the information that Odo Broni’s lawyers had filed a case challenging Akosua Serwaa’s capacity to bring such a suit. But we are too experienced for such. I even wanted to plead with the court to fine them 50,000, so that they do not delay, but the court told us to wait.”
“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.”
Lawyer Kusi stated that his client, who was represented by Daddy Lumba’s sister, is currently at peace and even has majority support on social media.
“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.
He rounded off his remarks by chastising social media commentators, stating, “The people coming on social media to talk plenty about the case are busybodies; nobody sent them.”
The case is part of an ongoing injunction application aimed at halting funeral preparations for the late Daddy Lumba until the court adjudicates key issues such as the rightful performance of widowhood rites and spousal recognition.
