Kumawood star Lilwin has encountered a significant legal hurdle as the Accra High Court has ruled against his request to halt the GH¢5 million defamation lawsuit filed by fellow actress Martha Ankomah.
The court’s decision comes amidst a backdrop of rising tensions between the two actors, stemming from remarks Lilwin allegedly made that Ankomah claims have harmed her reputation.
In a recent hearing, Lilwin’s attorneys sought to pause the proceedings until the Court of Appeal could decide whether the case should be relocated from Accra to Kumasi.
However, the judge dismissed their arguments, asserting there were no extraordinary circumstances warranting a delay.
As part of the ruling, Lilwin has also been ordered to pay GH¢5,000 in legal costs, adding financial strain to an already challenging situation.
Previous attempts at an out-of-court settlement between Lilwin and Martha Ankomah have reportedly been unsuccessful, leading them back into the courtroom.
The next court date is set for June 9, where both sides are expected to present video evidence that could prove pivotal in determining the outcome of this high-profile case.
With public interest surging, fans and observers are keenly awaiting developments in this unfolding drama.
As both actors prepare for what lies ahead, this case serves as a reminder of the complexities of personal and professional relationships within the entertainment industry.
