Actor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lil Win, has been granted GH¢50,000 bail with two sureties by the Asokore Mampong District Court. This follows his arrest on Monday, June 3, by officers from the Motor Traffic and Transport Department of the Manhyia Divisional Command, shortly after his discharge from the hospital.
The arrest relates to a recent accident involving a vehicle driven by Lil Win, which resulted in the death of a three-year-old boy. The family of the deceased had intensified calls for justice, but police attributed delays in the arrest to the actor’s health condition.
Lil Win has been charged with dangerous driving and negligently causing harm. The prosecution informed the court that investigations are ongoing and emphasized that the accused must be available whenever required. They also cited the actor’s health condition as a reason for the delay in proceedings.
Counsel for Lil Win, Margaret Adjei-Twum, argued that her client suffered injuries, including internal bleeding, and should be granted bail to receive medical treatment. She assured the court that Lil Win, being a well-known figure, would not evade legal proceedings. She also noted that the police brought the case to court despite her client’s incomplete recovery.
There was a heavy police presence at the Asokore Mampong District Court during the hearing. The case has been adjourned to June 27, 2024.
