Lil Win Released on Bail after Arrest
Actor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lil Win has been granted GH¢50,000 bail with two sureties following his arraignment before the Asokore Mampong District Court on Monday, June 3, 2024.
The comic Kumawood actor has been charged with dangerous driving, negligently causing harm and the use of an unregistered branded car.
The prosecutor said investigations were still ongoing as he justified the delayed case as a result of Lil Win’s health condition, Opemsuo Radio’s Johnson Owusu Aduomi reported from the courthouse.
The lawyer of the accused, Magret Agyei Twum, requested bail as she stated her client had suffered from various injuries including internal bleeding and needed bail for further treatment.
She assured, “My client is a popular person and will not escape as the case proceeds.”
The court presided over by His Worship Samuel Boabeng Quansah accepted the request for bail as the prosecutor urged Lil Win to avail himself for investigations when needed.
The case has been adjourned to June 27.
