Akosua Serwaa, the first wife of the late highlife legend Charles Kojo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, has announced plans to appeal the High Court’s decision dismissing her bid to be recognised as his only legal spouse.
The court recently rejected her claim that her marriage to the musician was an ordinance marriage — a status that would have legally barred him from entering into any subsequent marriages.
Her lawyer, William Kusi, told Accra-based Citi FM that the legal team would “file the appeal by the end of the day,” insisting the High Court erred in its judgment. According to him, “the supporting documents and admissions from the defendants” strongly backed Serwaa’s case.
Kusi also dismissed public criticism that he mishandled aspects of the case, including issues raised about certifying the marriage certificate through a German official.
He argued that the law provides multiple legitimate means of submitting such documents and that the team had complied with those procedures.
The case has sparked widespread public interest as it touches on the legal complexities surrounding marriage recognition and validity under Ghanaian law.
