Yul Edochie’s Estranged Wife May, Divorce Case In Trouble As Lawyer Withdraws Citing Bullying, Trolling By Her Fans
By The Republican News
The divorce case of estranged wife of Yul Edochie, Queen May, is in trouble as her council withdraws his services. MAY Edochie’s lawyer, Emeka Ugwuonye, has officially withdrawn his services, citing abuses and trolls from her fans.
Her legal team stated that May Nation’s attacks were worse than those from her estranged husband’s camp. The lawyer vowed to take action against a prominent online bully linked to May’s supporters.
In a surprising turn of events, Barrister Emeka Ugwuonye has stepped down from representing actress and entrepreneur May Edochie in her ongoing marital battle with her Nollywood actor husband, Yul Edochie.
What began as a legal alliance aiming to seek justice for May in the fallout of her high-profile marriage breakdown has now ended amid growing tension and cyber bullying from those meant to support her.
In his standby for withdrawal of his services, Ugwuonye didn’t mince words: “The persistent bullying and trolling originating from Queen May’s presumed supporters present a severe operational and ethical challenge for DPA and our staff.”
The lawyer said that the environment created by some of her fans was not only hostile but made it impossible to continue effective representation.
He admitted that his staff had suffered abuse from May’s camp, worse than what they had experienced from Yul Edochie’s supporters.
Though Ugwuonye reaffirmed that the genesis of May’s troubles came form his estranged husband and his alleged partner Judy, he stressed that the aggressive online behaviour of May’s followers had made things worse.
He wrote;
“Queen May’s inability to meaningfully influence this increasingly toxic faction among her supporters is incompatible with the level of investment required for our representation”
The lawyer, however was careful to separate May from the drama, describing her as “a remarkable individual” and reiterating that she remains a victim of betrayal and forced polygamy.
He also made it clear that DPA will cooperate fully with May’s next legal team.
While withdrawing from the case, Ugwuonye made it known that his law firm, DPA will not go quietly.
The firms is set to pursue legal action against a prominent online troll from May’s camp, who operated under the name “Judy Obasiyul Autism” The identity of user is under investigation.
May’s lawyer clarifies co-parenting arrangement as way forward
He states that since they share children, co-parenting is not only expected but required.
He noted that the current arrangement already reflects this, with Yul contributing financially and maintaining full access to the children.
