Shortly after court proceedings, amidst the legal dispute over <\/a><\/a>Daddy Lumba<\/a>\u2019s widowhood rights, Akosua Serwaa\u2019s lawyer, William Kusi, questioned the legitimacy of Odo Broni\u2019s role, asking whether someone labelled a \u201cslay queen\u201d could rightfully perform widowhood rites.<\/p>\n

In a video sighted by GhanaWeb, Kusi, speaking after the first court hearing on Thursday, October 16, 2025, revealed that the defence (Odo Broni)\u2019s team has filed a motion contesting Akosua Serwaa\u2019s capacity to go ahead with the suit. <\/p>\n

Speaking to the media on this development, the lawyer said, \u201cWe arrived at court and we got the information that Odo Broni\u2019s lawyers had filed a case challenging Akosua Serwaa\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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\u2019s husbands have no business with widowhood rites.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lumba\u2019s family head has filed a motion against my client – Akosua Serwaa\u2019s lawyer<\/a><\/p>\n

Lawyer Kusi stated that his client, who was represented by <\/a><\/a>Daddy Lumba<\/a>\u2019s sister, is currently at peace and even has majority support on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cAkosuah 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,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He rounded off his remarks by chastising social media commentators, stating, \u201cThe people coming on social media to talk plenty about the case are busybodies; nobody sent them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The case is part of an ongoing injunction application aimed at halting funeral preparations for the late <\/a><\/a>Daddy Lumba<\/a> until the court adjudicates key issues such as the rightful performance of widowhood rites and spousal recognition.<\/p>\n
