William Kusi

William Kusi was a Ghanaian lawyer based in Kumasi and the managing partner of Dominion Chambers in Adum. He practised widely in family law and became nationally known in 2025 and 2026 as lead counsel for Akosua Serwaa, the first wife of highlife legend Daddy Lumba, in the dispute over the musician's widowhood rites and estate.

Daddy Lumba case

Kusi filed the suit at the Kumasi High Court on behalf of Akosua Serwaa, asking the court to declare her the only surviving lawful spouse of Daddy Lumba, who died in July 2025. On 28 November 2025 the court ruled that both Akosua Serwaa and Priscilla Ofori (Odo Broni) were customary wives and should both be recognised. His client appealed the ruling, and the appeal was still pending at the time of his death.

Politics

Kusi was active in the New Patriotic Party. He served as Ashanti Regional Communications Officer for Kennedy Agyapong and was a leading figure in Agyapong's Ashanti campaign during the NPP's 2026 presidential primary.

Death

Kusi died on 7 November 2026 in Germany, aged 56. The Ghana Bar Association's Ashanti branch announced his death in a statement signed by its secretary, Shadrack Obeng-Yeboah, and the NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, also confirmed it. Reports said he suffered a heart attack and had been unwell for some time, but the cause of death had not been officially stated. This profile will be updated with funeral details.
