The widow of the late Ghanaian highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, Akosua Serwah Fosuh, has filed a GH¢10 million defamation lawsuit against social media commentator Elizabeth Opuni, popularly known as Maa Lizzy.
The suit, filed at the High Court in Accra, accuses the TikToker of publishing a series of allegedly false and defamatory statements about Fosuh following the death of her husband.
According to court documents, the action was filed on October 15, 2026, under suit number GJ/0050/2027. Fosuh, a professional nurse based in Germany, is pursuing the case through her lawful attorney, Rachel Kissiwaa Akowuah, with legal representation from Kllenn Law Office, led by Francis Yaw Adiasani.
In her statement of claim, Fosuh said she has built a strong reputation as a professional, wife, mother and respectable member of society in Ghana, Germany and beyond. She argued that the alleged publications have damaged her personal dignity, family standing and professional reputation.
The plaintiff also noted that she has become widely known as “Team Legal Wife” amid public discussions surrounding Daddy Lumba’s death and his family.
The court documents identified the defendant as the operator of a TikTok account under the name Maa Lizzy, which allegedly had more than 320,000 followers as of October 12, 2026.
Fosuh alleged that the defendant engaged in a sustained campaign of publishing offensive and fabricated claims about her. She said some of the videos were later circulated by other bloggers, extending their reach to audiences in Ghana and abroad.
The alleged publications were made in Twi, with the statement of claim providing English translations of the remarks complained of.
Among the statements cited in the suit are allegations concerning the plaintiff’s sexual conduct, personal character and past relationships. The documents also attributed to the defendant claims that Fosuh had been involved in the deaths of previous husbands and that she used witchcraft and promiscuity against the late musician.
Fosuh denied the allegations, describing them as false and defamatory. She said the publications were capable of exposing her to hatred, ridicule, humiliation and public disrepute.
The widow is asking the High Court to declare that the alleged publications are false and defamatory. She is also seeking a perpetual injunction to prevent Maa Lizzy, her agents and assigns from publishing the allegedly defamatory statements or making further similar allegations against her.
In addition, Fosuh wants the court to order the defendant to retract the publications and issue an unqualified public apology with prominence and visibility comparable to that of the original content on TikTok and other platforms.
The plaintiff is seeking GH¢10 million in general damages, including aggravated damages, as well as legal costs and any other relief the court considers appropriate.
The writ of summons directs the defendant to enter an appearance within eight days after service of the court documents. It warns that failure to do so may result in the court proceeding to give judgment in her absence.
The case has drawn public attention amid ongoing controversy surrounding Daddy Lumba’s death and disputes involving members of his family. It also highlights the growing use of defamation suits by public figures seeking to respond to allegations spread on social media platforms.
