Influencer and entrepreneur, May Edochie has filed for divorce from her husband, Yul Edochie who she currently shares three children with.
May is reportedly being represented by renowned activist and lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) and Eculaw group.
The mother-of-three is demanding for N100m in damages from the Nollywood actor and his second wife, Judy, who is also an actor. She accused Judy Austin of adultery.
The DPA Family Law Clinic which shared an update in 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 a restraining order from Yul, preventing him 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”.
According to reports, May stopped Yul from accessing their home last week by security officials.
She also told him that henceforth all issues involving his marriage to her and dealings in that regard are subjudice, adding that she has taken the measure to protect herself and her children.
Nigerians have been reacting to the latest development, with many hailing Yul’s estranged wife over the lawsuit.
