Actress Martha Ankomah has agreed to an out-of-court settlement in her defamation case against fellow Actor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin.
The case took a different twist when trial which was to begin on 31st July at the High Court in Accra witnessed lawyers for the plaintiff announcing a sudden development.
Martha Ankomah’s legal team, led by Nii Apatu Plange, informed the court that a settlement had been reached, prompting a brief adjournment to finalise the agreement.
“There has been some development. We were supposed to start the trial today, (Wednesday, July 31). Unfortunately, some development has come up, and I pray that my client and I approach the bench,” he submitted.
Justice Forson Agyapong Baah, the presiding judge, acknowledged the development and adjourned the case to August 15, 2024, to formalise the settlement.
The case stemmed from a viral video in which Lilwin used derogatory language, questioning Martha Ankomah’s status in the movie industry and supposedly damaging her reputation as a brand ambassador for GTP.
In reaction, the actress, sought five million cedis in damages, but the terms of the out-of-court settlement remain undisclosed.
