A new update on the Lilwin and Martha Ankomah legal dispute has emerged, as it has been reported that the two celebrities have reached an agreement to resolve their issues outside of the courtroom.

The trial, which was set to commence today at the High Court in Accra, has been postponed due to this development.

Martha Ankomah’s legal team, headed by Nii Apatu Plange, informed the court of the settlement, leading to a temporary adjournment to finalize the agreement and thereby starting a new conversation around the entertainment news landscape.

The presiding judge, Justice Forson Agyapong Baah, has acknowledged this development and rescheduled the case for August 15, 2024, to formalize the settlement.

The case arose from a video Lilwin recorded of himself expressing his anger towards actress Martha Ankomah. The reason behind his frustration was Martha’s alleged derogatory comments about Kumawood movies.

It is reported that Martha Ankomah declined an offer to participate in a Kumawood project, stating that their storylines were terrible and their productions were inferior.

Lilwin, often seen as the face of Kumawood, strongly criticized Martha Ankomah for her remarks. He believed that instead of using foul language, Martha Ankomah could have declined the offer or asked for an exorbitant fee that would make it impossible for the producer to afford her.

In a heated tone, Lilwin expressed his disappointment, stating that Martha Ankomah had lost her relevance and was only making such comments to stay in the limelight.

He reminded her that A-list actresses like Van Vicker and Yvonne Nelson had previously worked in Kumawood, emphasizing that Martha was nobody compared to them.

In reaction, the actress sought five million cedis in damages, but the terms of the out-of-court settlement remain undisclosed.
