The family of the late highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, has moved to clarify public misrepresentations regarding the funeral arrangements and the status of his widow, Mrs. Akosua Serwah Fosuh.
The family has rejected a widely circulated funeral poster that listed Mrs. Akosua Serwah Fosuh alongside another individual as “widow.”
In a statement, the family said the poster was published without Mrs. Fosuh’s consent, misrepresents her status, and includes several family names “for cosmetic purposes,” urging the public to disregard it entirely.
The family strongly defended the legitimacy of Mrs. Fosuh’s German marriage certificate, condemning remarks by Mr. Kofi Owusu on an entertainment programme where he dismissed it as an “Ashtown document.”
The family described such claims as “pathetic, uninformed, and hostile,” and emphasized that the certificate remains a legally valid and internationally recognised document.
Defending their spokesperson, Evangelist Papa Shee, also known as Nana Yaw Akosah, the family reiterated that he is a long-standing confidant and fully authorised to speak on their behalf, dismissing suggestions to the contrary as false and unfounded.
While expressing respect for the recent ruling by Her Ladyship Justice Dorinda Smith Arthur, the family noted disagreements with aspects of the decision and indicated plans to seek legal redress to ensure clarity and protect the dignity of the late musician’s widow and children.
The family concluded by reassuring Ghanaians, particularly those in Germany, of the authenticity and credibility of German marriage certificates, describing them as “the Mercedes-Benz of marriage certificates,”.
They also affirmed their commitment to honouring the legacy of Charles Kwadwo Fosuh with transparency and dignity.
