Akosua Serwaa breaks silence after hero’s welcome by team legal wives in Ghana

Akosua Serwaa, widow of the celebrated Highlife icon Daddy Lumba, has finally broken her silence following her return to Ghana after an extended stay in Germany.

She touched down at the Kotoka International Airport on 9 January 2026, where an unexpected show of affection awaited her. A sizeable gathering of sympathisers and well-wishers, including prominent media figures such as Ohemaa Woyeje and Sally Mann, had assembled to receive her.

“After landing safely at Kotoka International Airport, my first thought was to give thanks to God for His protection. As I moved through the arrival hall and noticed a large crowd ahead, I wondered quietly if a prominent national figure had arrived on the same flight. It was only when I got closer that I realised the gathering was not for a leader of the nation, but for me – their sister, mother, and daughter, the widow of Daddy Lumba,”

She went on to express deep appreciation to those who stood by her during what she described as a painful and challenging chapter of her life. Particular mention was made of Team Legal Wives, whose public support and advocacy, she noted, gave her strength and represented a broader fight for unity and fairness.

Akosua Serwaa’s return comes almost a month after Daddy Lumba was laid to rest at Heroes Park in Kumasi on 13 December 2025. She, along with a section of the family, was absent from the burial ceremony due to unresolved disagreements surrounding the funeral arrangements and traditional widowhood rites.
