Defamation Suit: LilWin opts for ‘out of court’ settlement with Martha Ankomah

Kumawood actor, Kwadwo Nkansah aka LilWin, has reportedly opted for an “out of court” settlement with actress Martha Ankomah over the ₵5 million defamation suit filed against him.

According to a post by GHOne on its X handle, an Accra High Court was informed of the decision today, July 31, 2024, the same day the case was supposed to be heard after a Case Management Conference on July 25.

The judge, Justice Forson Agyapong Baah, had ordered LilWin to be notified of the hearing and court notes, as he was absent and unrepresented at the previous session.

How it started

Actress Martha Ankomah filed a defamation lawsuit against LilWin following his disparaging remarks about her in a viral video.

Ankomah claims LilWin’s statements damaged her reputation and that of the textile brand GTP.

She is seeking GH¢5 million in damages, compensatory and aggravated damages, an apology, a retraction, and an injunction against further defamatory statements.

The lawsuit stems from LilWin’s response to Ankomah’s comments on Accra FM, where she had said she was interested in collaborating with Kumawood actors due to their storylines.

LilWin, in a video in response, embarked on a barrage of insults against the actress, leading to the suit.
