Speaking in an interview on Nhyira FM, which was shared on Instagram on March 2, 2025, Martha Ankomah—who is still pursuing her lawsuit against LilWin—clarified that no such ruling has been issued.

She stressed that she is not seeking financial compensation from the actor. Instead, her main request is for the court to secure a public apology and cover 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 said.

Martha Akomah 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.
