Actress Martha Ankomah (L) and Kumawood actor LilWin (R)
Ghanaian actress, Martha Ankomah, has dispelled reports regarding a court order urging actor LilWin to pay a fine of GH¢300,000.
Speaking in an interview on Nhyira FM, shared on Instagram on March 2, 2025, Martha Ankomah, who is still dealing with her lawsuit against LilWin, stated that such reports are false and that the court has not ordered the actor to pay any GH¢300,000.
She emphasised that she doesn’t need money from the actor and, therefore, all she prays for the court to do in her favour is to secure a public apology and money to settle her legal fees.
“It is not true; it is sad, and I don’t know who has been writing those stories and giving such captions. When we went to court, the judge ordered them to write an apology and present it at our next hearing on April 1, 2025. If the court is convinced with the apology, he would therefore come out and publicly apologise.
“You may recall that I once was granted an interview on Peace FM, where I said that I didn’t need money from LilWin. All I want is a public apology. Maybe what we would take from him is our legal fees. It is not good for someone to spread false news about you. I want him to do the right thing so people would know that the law works in this country,” she stated.
Martha Ankomah further clarified that LilWin’s initial apology was not what she was expecting from the actor.
She added that the actor’s apology does not show any sign of remorse.
“All those who listened and watched his apology said that it did not go well because he didn’t even trust any of his statements. So, we want the right thing to be done, and that is all,” she said.
Background
On February 14, 2024, Martha Ankomah filed a lawsuit against LilWin for some defamatory comments he made about her in a viral video.
In the video, LilWin is heard making disparaging comments about Ankomah’s significance in the film industry.
The actress subsequently established that LilWin’s statements have since damaged her reputation and that of the brand she represents.
She asserted that LilWin falsely accused her of looking down on Kumawood actors and refusing to collaborate with them due to perceived poor-quality storylines.
Martha Ankomah’s demands
The actress is seeking several forms of relief, including:
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 LilWin from making further defamatory statements.
Settling of legal costs.
