Emotions run high as Odo Broni arrives at Daddy Lumba’s funeral; Akosua Serwaa still absent

A deeply emotional atmosphere enveloped Heroes Park this Saturday, December 13, as Priscilla Fosu, popularly known as Odo Broni, arrived to take part in the final funeral rites of her late husband, legendary highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosu, widely known as Daddy Lumba.

Her arrival triggered varied reactions among mourners, coming after days of intense public speculation, tension and debate over the performance of official widowhood rites. While some sympathisers welcomed her with applause and tears, others watched in silence as she joined the bereaved family.

Odo Broni’s presence appeared to mark a turning point in the ceremony, offering a sense of closure after the uncertainty that had surrounded the recognition of widowhood rites in the days leading up to the funeral.

At the time of reporting, Akosua Serwaa, the other widow of the late musician, had yet to arrive at the venue, a situation that continues to draw public attention as the funeral rites near their final stages.
