Ghanaian veteran actor, Oboy Siki, has urged his embattled colleague, Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as LilWin, to consider apologising to Martha Ankomah to resolve their dispute instead of pursuing legal action.

Oboy Siki emphasised that LilWin has faced legal challenges before due to his remarks, indicating a need for him to learn from past experiences and seek an amicable resolution.

During an interview with Angle FM, Oboy Siki criticised LilWin for his statements and advised him to extend an apology to Martha Ankomah before the situation escalates further.

“LilWin does not have wise people in his circle because what he said was outrageous. He should follow up on the issue before it's too late. I don’t care whether he has regretted his actions or not. He should stop fooling and hurriedly go and apologise to Martha Ankomah.

"He's got into a similar issue before when he was sued and dealt with for messing around with a politician. Even though the case has gone to court, he should be fast and see the woman’s family and render an apology instead of facing her in court,” he advised.

Since LilWin posted a video of NDC General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketiah saying “Any idiot can go to court” on his Instagram page after the news of him being sued became rife, the actor has received backlash for his conduct.

Background

Actress Martha Ankomah has taken legal action against fellow actor LilWin, filing a defamation lawsuit on Wednesday, February 14, 2024.

Ankomah alleges that LilWin, without provocation, launched a social media attack against her on February 8, 2024, accusing her of consistently rejecting offers from movie directors to appear in Kumawood films, the Twi-language movie industry.

She contends that LilWin's statements, among other things, are false and malicious, causing her reputational damage and disfavour among the public.

Martha Ankomah, represented by her lawyer Nii Apatu Plange of Ankoma-Sey, Apatu Plange & Partners, is seeking legal recourse to hold LilWin accountable for defamation and restore her reputation. She has outlined six specific demands to address the matter.

a. Damages in the sum of 5 million Ghana cedis for the defamatory statements made by Defendant.

b. Compensatory damages for the damage done to the reputation of Plaintift.

c. Aggravated damages for the reckless and malicious publication of the defamatory words.

d. An order directing the Defendant to publish an apology and a retraction of the said defamatory words with the same prominence.

e. Injunction restraining the Defendant from further publishing and causing to be published the said or similar words defamatory of Plaintiff.
