So I don\u2019t think you can insult anyone and go scot-free. If we say we are role models, people must learn from us so we have to set good examples. So, I took it to court. Please it\u2019s not a joke because it takes years to build a brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf the court doesn\u2019t teach him a lesson, it will be a very bad example that may encourage the next generation to just say anything about people\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actress has filed a defamation suit against&nbsp;LilWin for what she describes&nbsp;as disparaging comment against her personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Martha Ankomah is thus seeking damages to the tune of five million Ghana cedis from LilWin for the defamatory statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LilWin in response to the suit posted a video on his Instagram page to emphasise that being sued does not make one guilty of the alleged offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs the final arbiter of the law, the Court is charged with ensuring the Ghanaian people the promise of equal justice under the law and, thereby, also functions as guardian and interpreter of the Constitution.

In a TikTok live session, the actor criticised her fellow actress for the comment she made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMartha, those who are richer than you are rather humble and respect themselves a lot. Do you honestly call yourself a star? Who knows you? What do you have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t even know why GTP bypassed the likes of McBrown, Mercy Asiedu and co, and made Martha Ankomah their brand ambassador. The likes of Van Vicker, Roselyn Ngissah and co, do not do these things. They even work with us. They shoot Kumawood movies.
