Martha Ankomah has a good heart, she is a lovely lady – Lil Win’s lawyers

The legal representatives of comic actor Kwadwo Nkansah, widely known as Lil Win, have praised Ghanaian actress Martha Ankomah, describing her as a compassionate and admirable individual.

They made this statement when their client publicly apologised to Martha Ankomah, over some defamatory remarks against her.

One of his lawyers said, “As lawyers, we try to solve issues so we can move forward. As we looked into the matter, we released that Martha is a beautiful lady and God-fearing. She has a good heart and she is such a lovely lady. We thank God that we have been able to reach her to understand certain things.

She added, “We haven’t concluded the case. We are just midway through but we thank Martha’s lawyer and the judge sitting on this case.”

Earlier this year, Lilwin downplayed Martha’s prominence in the film industry and her role as a GTP brand ambassador, prompting the actress to file a defamatory suit.

As the legal case continues, Lil Win has retracted his comments and apologised to the actress. During a live TikTok session with his three legal representatives, offered an apology and entreated his fans to help reach out to Martha Ankomah.

“What we want is peace. Martha is someone I appreciate so much. I want all my fans to join me apologise to Martha Ankomah,” he said.

He also pledged to avoid defamatory statements in the future, while noting that he is a first time offender and expressed hope of working with her on upcoming projects.

Martha is demanding GHS 5 million in damages in the defamation lawsuit. In court on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, the first session of the 2024-2025 legal year, Justice Forson Agyapong Baah was informed by the lawyers of the actress, led by Nii Apatu Plange, that the defendant (Lilwin) was not ready for settlement.

Justice Baah, after hearing from the counsel of the plaintiff, adjourned the case to November 5, 2024, for hearing. Presently, Lil Win‘s team has agreed to an out-of-court settlement.

Martha Ankomah’s demands

a) Damages in the sum of GH¢5 million for the defamatory statements made by the defendant.

b) Compensatory damages for the damage done to the reputation of the plaintiff.

c) Aggravated damages for the reckless and malicious publication of the defamatory words.

d) An order directing the defendant to publish an apology and a retraction of the said defamatory words with the same prominence.

e) An injunction restraining the defendant from further publishing or causing to be published similar words defamatory of the plaintiff.

f) Legal costs.
