The widow of highlife legend Daddy Lumba is taking her fight to the appeals court after getting shut down at the High Court level. Akosua Serwaa wanted recognition as his sole legitimate wife, and her lawyer, William Kusi, says they're filing the paperwork to challenge the ruling that tossed her case.
Kusi thinks the court messed up by not accepting that their marriage was an ordinance-style union, which would have blocked the musician from getting hitched to anyone else. He's pushing back against claims that they botched the marriage certificate verification with German authorities, saying Ghanaian law gives them multiple ways to submit documents, and they followed the rules.
The whole drama started because different family members are beefing over who counts as the real spouse after Lumba died. Other parties claim he was free to marry multiple times, and that argument seems to be gaining traction with the courts.
