Kumawood actor and producer, Kwadwo Nkansah, known as LilWin, has filed a lawsuit against Abrempong TV, accusing the station of broadcasting his movie, “A Country Called Ghana” without permission.
In a statement released via Instagram on September 10, 2025, LilWin, through his lawyer, Enoch Sebastian Owusu, demanded GH¢1 million in compensation for what he described as the unauthorised use and piracy of his intellectual property.
“We have the instructions from our client to demand… that you pay an amount of one million Ghana Cedis (GH¢1,000,000.00) as compensation for the unauthorised use, broadcast, and infringement of our client’s copyright in the film,” the statement read.
The legal notice also directed Abrempong TV to immediately cease broadcasting ‘A Country Called Ghana’ or any of LilWin’s other productions without his consent.
“Should you fail to comply with the above request within 14 days, we will give our client’s firm instruction to institute legal proceedings against you without further recourse to you,” the letter warned.
The lawsuit comes amid growing concerns over piracy in the country’s film industry, with many filmmakers lamenting how unauthorised broadcasts and online leaks undermine their work and revenue.
LilWin’s legal move underscores the increasing resolve of local creatives to protect their intellectual property and demand accountability from media platforms.
