Martha Ankomah’s case with Lilwin adjourned over delay in signing settlement terms

The case between Martha Ankomah and Lil Win has been adjourned to May 14, 2025, for Lil Win to sign the terms of agreement with the actress.

Report has it that the High Court in Accra on April 14, 2025, cautioned Lilwin over the delay in signing the settlement terms regarding the defamation case filed by actress Martha Ankomah against actor Kwadwo Nkansah (Lil Win).

The court has shown concern about the absence of Lil Win and his lawyers, even though both parties agreed to finalise their terms of settlement by April 1, 2025.

Martha Ankomah sued Lilwin for GHc5 million for making defamatory comments about her in public.

The court adjourned the case to make way for the settlement of their terms after Lilwin had asked for an out-of-court settlement.

On April 14, 2025, Martha’s lawyer, Nii Appiatu Plange, informed the court that they had submitted all agreed-upon proposals for Lil Win to sign, but had not heard back from his team.

“I sent the agreed terms to the defendant’s lawyer for the defendant to sign in the middle of March, but as I speak, I have not heard anything from Counsel,” he said.

According to Lilwin’s representative, Jalila Sumaila, the delay in the settlement was a result of the counsel Margaret Adjei-Twum’s illness. She said the documents had not yet been sent to the defendant to sign. She subsequently requested that the case be adjourned.

“My instructions are that the terms have been given to the defendant to sign, and substantive Counsel is not well, hence praying for a date,” Sumaila told the court.

Martha’s counsel, Nii Appiatu Plang, said they “will oblige them a last adjournment, and if they fail to sign, then we proceed with the matter.
