Martha Ankomah, Lil Win set for court
In July, court hearing documents sighted by YEN.com.gh indicated that the Kumawood actor halted the legal proceedings to make an attempt to settle the issue out of court after being hit by the big lawsuit.
According to new reports, Martha Ankomah's legal team, led by Nii Apatu Plange, informed Accra High Court judge Justice Forson Agyapong Baah of their intention to continue with their suit on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.
The actress and her legal team made the request to the court after being informed that Lil Win would be unable to reach an agreement for the out-of-court settlement.
Martha Ankomah filed the lawsuit against Lil Win on February 14, 2024, after the actor made some disparaging comments about her and her relevance in the Ghanaian movie industry.
The actress, prominent for her roles in movies like Heart of Men and Somewhere in Africa, is seeking GH¢5 million in damages and an order for Lil Win to publish an apology and retract his defamatory remarks about her.
Martha Ankomah is also seeking an injunction to bar the actor from making further defamatory remarks that will dent her high-profile reputation as an actress and an entrepreneur.
