Actor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as LilWin, of Kumawood is said to have chosen to settle his ₵5 million defamation lawsuit “out of court” with actress Martha Ankomah.
An Accra High Court was notified of the ruling today, July 31, 2024, the day the case was scheduled to be heard following a Case Management Conference on July 25, according to a post made by GHOne on its X handle.
LilWin was not present at the last session and was not represented by counsel, thus the judge, Justice Forson Agyapong Baah, had ordered that he be informed of the hearing and court notes.
Actress Martha Ankomah sued LilWin for defamation after he made derogatory comments about her in a widely shared video.
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 response, embarked on a barrage of insults against the actress, leading to the suit.
She among other demands, asked the court for damages to the tune of five million Ghana cedis, compensatory damages, an injunction against the defendant as well as an order compelling him to publish an apology and retraction of his statements.
