The legal counsel to May Edochie, the estranged wife of Yul Edochie, Emeka Ugwuonye, says that the actor has denied being married to actress Judy Austin and that their contents in movies and the skits they make are being interpreted to mean they are married.
In a statement released on his Facebook page, Ugwuonye said the ongoing divorce case between May and Yul at the FCT High Court, Abuja, slated for a hearing on March 5, faced an unexpected setback as the court session did not proceed, a circumstance Yul and Judy claimed credit for.
Detailing the developments in the case, May’s lawyer highlighted what he considered to be the defense strategy employed by Yul and Judy. He said they denied being married and insisted that their relationship lacked any legal statutory recognition, claiming to be skitmakers.
He said May’s initial petition highlighted an alleged traditional marriage ceremony between Yul and Judy on April 24, 2022, in Anambra State. Ugwuonye said Yul and Judy, in their responses before the court, denied the traditional marriage ceremony mentioned in May’s petition, insisting that it was a fabricated story.
According to May’s lawyer, the accused pair plan to argue that their social media content, including videos and posts, is part of their skit-making endeavor.
