According to reports from Instablog9ja, the law firm representing May is backed by a popular Nigerian lawyer, Femi Falana, who will be representing May in court.
The law firm clarified that Yul and Judy are not legally married until the divorce between Yul and May is finalized.
Despite being aware of the lawsuit, both Yul and Judy have been avoiding being served with the legal papers, according to a post on the Law firm’s official Facebook page.
In addition to the lawsuit, May has also demanded that Yul is restrained from accessing their former matrimonial home. The full statement on the page reads:
“YUL EDOCHIE’S SITUATION: UNDERSTANDING THE REALITY OF IT
“I have not seen in recent times a case where so much is going on, and yet not much is known to the public despite the intense public interest.
“For the avoidance of doubts, May Yul-Edochie filed a divorce petition against Yul. She also filed against Judy as a party cited and she is asking for 100 million naira in damages against Judy for adultery with her husband.
“Make no mistake about it: Yul and Judy are NOT husband and wife, and cannot be so until Yul and May are divorced.
“It is a combination of delusion and absurdity for the two to call themselves husband and wife yet.
“Both Judy and Yul are aware of the lawsuit, having received copies of the suit papers by email.
“Surprisingly, 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.
“In addition to the substantive petition, May also filed for an order of court restraining Yul from accessing their former matrimonial home.
“That application is based on the fact that there are genuine security and safety concerns. Yul’s behavior has been erratic, irrational, aggressive and increasingly threatening.
“He seems to have been under some influence, the full extent or scope of which we are yet to ascertain. But measures are being taken to protect May and her children.
“These measures are proportionate to the threats.
“Despite the combination of circumstances at the present time, last weekend, against all advice, Yul attempted to access the home, now occupied alone by May and her children.
“But he was stopped by the intervention of law enforcement. He was reminded that henceforth all issues involving his marriage to May and dealings in that regard are subjudice.
“He should consult his lawyer, when and if he hires one, and be guided by such lawyer.
“After the event of last weekend, it was not surprising at all to hear that Yul and Judy would be on social media in a commic display where Judy showers Yul with unfettered adulation, calling him Odogwu, the best in Africa and fountain head.
“It is totally understandable that he would need such extreme ego massage.
“As the world can attest by now, May is the sharp opposit of Yul and Judy. She is calm, rational and incredibly stoic.
“Despite the enormous losses and suffering she has endured lately, she held on to high values of honor and integrity and remains calm and focused in face of turbulence.
“She has earned the respect and admiration of many good people.
“DPA Family Law Clinic remains committed to supporting her through the storm.
