The first wife of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba, Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, has returned to Ghana from Germany, receiving an emotional and heartfelt welcome at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) that underscored the deep connection she shares with supporters, family, and well-wishers alike.
In a press statement issued by her family’s press office, she recounted the overwhelming love and solidarity shown upon her arrival, describing the experience as both humbling and deeply moving.
Akosua Serwaa boarded her flight from Germany amid challenging conditions, with heavy snowfall across Europe and widespread flight cancellations, a journey that brought anxiety but was sustained by faith.
She reflected on her departure from her daughter, entrusting her safe passage to Almighty God.
Upon landing at KIA on the evening of January 9, 2026, she was greeted by a large and jubilant crowd, many holding placards and cheering, a reception usually reserved for national leaders, yet dedicated entirely to her.
“This welcome was a powerful reminder that God’s timing and purpose are always perfect,” she said in her statement, visibly moved by the display of solidarity.
“The love in their faces, the placards, and the prayers lifted my spirit beyond words.” She noted that she is naturally quiet and reserved, making the scale of the reception all the more poignant and unforgettable for her and her family.
Central to the homecoming was the Team Legal Wives, the advocacy group that has consistently supported Akosua Serwaa throughout the legal and familial disputes surrounding Daddy Lumba’s funeral and estate. Read full story on thedailygistonline.com
She expressed profound gratitude for their unwavering solidarity, describing their prayers, advocacy, and presence as a demonstration of truth, justice, and unity, qualities she has sought to uphold in the months following the late musician’s passing.
Akosua Serwaa also acknowledged the support of the late musician’s family, including those who were present at the airport and those who could not be physically present but remained in spirit.
She specifically mentioned her appreciation for the organizers, airport authorities, the Ghana Police Service, and the many well-wishers who traveled from all corners of the country to welcome her back.
Her return to Ghana follows months of family disputes and legal tensions after Daddy Lumba’s death on July 26, 2025, which led to his burial being overseen by Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu amidst court injunctions and disagreements with certain family members.
Akosua Serwaa, who had been abroad during the funeral in December 2025, was notably absent from the final rites, a situation that sparked widespread public and media discussion.
In her statement, Akosua Serwaa emphasized the importance of unity, faith, and legacy, stating that the overwhelming reception reaffirmed her belief in the power of collective support and love.
She concluded by expressing heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in her return, promising that the name Akosua Serwaa Fosuh would forever carry gratitude, love, and recognition for those who stood by her during challenging times.
