Martha Ankomah v Lil Win: Out-of-court settlement fails, Nov. 5 hearing set

In the GHS5 million defamation case brought against Kwadwo ‘Lil Win’ Nkansah by Martha Ankomah, an out-of-court settlement proposal has failed.

On Tuesday, October 15, 2024, according to Graphic Online, Martha’s lawyers, led by Mr Nii Apatu Plange, informed Justice Forson Agyapong Baah that defendant Lil Win was not ready for an out-of-court settlement as earlier indicated.

“We made our proposals to the intermediary, but he later informed us that it did not seem the defendant was ready for settlement, so I will say that settlement could not be achieved,” Martha’s legal team said in court.

Nii A. Plange said: “We pray the matter proceeds.”

Thus, Justice Forson A. Baah adjourned the case to November 5, 2024, for hearing.

“In the circumstances, the case is adjourned to 5th November 2024, for hearing to begin at 8:30 a.m. Let hearing notices, along with today’s notes, be issued and served on the defendant,” the court said.

While plaintiff Martha Ankomah was in court, defendant Lil Win was not. There was no legal representation present for him, also.

In February, actress Martha Ankomah sued actor Lil Win when a video of the latter appeared on the internet. In the viral video, among other things, Lil Win, using abusive language, attacked Martha because he had allegedly been informed Martha insulted Kumawood, the popular Kumasi-based movie scene.
