Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian actors Martha Ankomah and Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin have reached a settlement in their highly publicized defamation dispute, bringing an end to the GH₵5 million lawsuit filed by Ankomah. Following a closed-door hearing on February 25, 2025, both parties agreed to a GH₵300,000 settlement, marking the conclusion of a legal battle that captivated the entertainment industry.
The dispute originated from a viral video in which Lilwin allegedly made disparaging remarks about Ankomah’s career. The comments, which circulated widely on social media, were deemed malicious and damaging to Ankomah’s reputation. Despite Lilwin’s public apology in December 2024, Ankomah rejected the gesture, insisting on pursuing legal action to seek redress for the harm caused.
In her lawsuit, Ankomah sought GH₵5 million in damages, compensation for reputational harm, additional damages for the nature of the defamatory remarks, and a formal apology and retraction with equal visibility to the original comments.
The settlement, however, saw a significant reduction in the damages sought, with Lilwin agreeing to pay GH₵300,000. A video shared by GhOne TV on social media captured Ankomah leaving the courtroom alongside her legal team, appearing satisfied with the outcome.
