May Edochie, a Businesswoman, has filed for divorce from her husband and actor, Yul Edochie, with whom she currently shares three children.
May, who is being represented by Femi Falana and the Eculaw Group, is also demanding N100 million in damages from Yul and his second wife, Judy, whom she accused of adultery.
The DPA Family Law Clinic, which shared an update on the couple’s marital crisis, noted that Judy and Yul are aware of the lawsuit, having received copies of the suit papers by email.
It was also alleged that “both Yul and Judy are avoiding service of the process upon them. The court bailiff has tried so many times to serve them in accordance with the rules of court. But they have evaded service of court process. Despite the braggadocio and the social media stunts, Yul Edochie and Judy are facing serious legal challenges and they seem ill-prepared for them, given the fact that they have been evading service of process.”
May has also filed for an order of court restraining Yul from accessing their former matrimonial home. The businesswoman who cited safety concerns alleged that the actor has been erratic, irrational, aggressive, and increasingly threatening.
She noted that Yul acts like he is “under some influence, the full extent or scope of which we are yet to ascertain”.
May, who recalled how Yul was stopped from accessing their home last week by security officials who told him that henceforth all issues involving his marriage to her and dealings in that regard are subjudice, stated that she has taken the measure to protect herself and her children.
May Edochie files for divorce from Yul Edochie
Africanglitz reported last month that May Edochie had begun divorce proceedings from Yul.
According to Linda Ikeji’s blog, May has moved to dissolve their 18-year marriage.
The now-mother of three and her lawyer reportedly visited a court on Monday, July 11th, to submit a petition against Yul.
The reports also claimed that Yul had refused the petition, which had caused a delay in the filing of the proceedings.
Adding to it, Instagram blogger Gistlover alleged that the court granted full custody of their three kids to May Edochie and also granted her full custody of their mansion. The court reportedly warned the actor never to go near the mansion to disturb his first wife.
Judy Austin sheds light on how she met Yul Edochie hours after May Edochie
Just days ago, Judy Austin shed light on how she met her husband, Yul Edochie, after her first marriage was dissolved.
Judy Austin claimed she met Yul Edochie years after her first marriage was dissolved in 2013, claiming that was the first time she set her eyes on him.
The fast-rising actress claimed the reports circulating about her on social media were false.
In a video shared on her social media page, Judy Austin revealed she made the video to clear the air about dating Yul Edochie while still married to her first husband.
“My previous marriage ended in March 2013. And I set my eyes on Yul Edochie for the first time, years after my marriage was completely dissolved.
“So, anyone saying otherwise, they are plainly lying. If I’m lying, if I saw Yul while in my previous marriage, let all the curses that people have been heaping on me, let it happen to me billion times over.
