Actress Martha Ankomah’s defamation case against KumawoodActor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lil Win, will be heard on July 31.
This follows the completion of the Case Management Conference on July 25, overseen by Justice Forson Agyapong Baah at the High Court in Accra.
The judge has ordered that Lil Win be notified of the hearing and the court’s notes via the usual means, as he was absent at the previous session and did not have legal representation.
Martha Ankomah is suing Lil Win for defamatory remarks he made about her in a viral video.
In the video, Lil Win is heard making disparaging comments about Ankomah’s significance in the film industry.
The lawsuit, filed on February 14, 2024, claims that Lil Win’s statements have damaged her reputation and that of the brand GTP.
Ankomah asserts that Lil Win falsely accused her of looking down on Kumawood actors and refusing to collaborate with them due to perceived poor-quality storylines.
Ankomah is seeking several forms of relief in her lawsuit, including:
GH¢5 million in damages for defamation.
Compensatory damages for harm to her reputation.
Aggravated damages for the malicious nature of the statements.
An apology and retraction of the defamatory words.
An injunction preventing Lil Win from making further defamatory statements.
