May Edochie’s legal counsel, Emeka Ugwuonye alleges that her client’s husband, actor Yul Edochie, has stopped providing for their children.
In a video, Ugwuonye alleged that Yul has repeatedly told his children to seek financial support from their mother, claiming she earns more than he does.
Ugwuonye’s harsh criticism of Yul Edochie was prompted by a recent edition of media personality Nedu Wazobia’s “Honest Bunch” podcast.
During the show, actress Yvonne Jegede supported Yul and voiced her confusion over why Ned Nwoko, another polygamist like Yul, has gained a widespread support yet Yul is continuously chastised for marrying a second wife.
In the video, May Edochie’s lawyer struck back, highlighting the huge disparities between Yul Edochie and Ned Nwoko.
He clarified that Nwoko ensured he married his wives under the Customary law, which permits multiple marriages, unlike the Sharia law, which limits a Muslim man to four wives. Nwoko, desiring more wives, chose the law that allowed him to marry an unlimited number.
Ugwuonye further alleged that Judy is conducting a “campaign of calumny and smear” against May; an untrue statement made about someone to reduce other people’s respect and admiration for them.
He said partly, “Something else you people do not understand but you will understand today. Ned is taking care of all is children, paying their school fees, feeding them. Yul is not doing that. Yul is not supporting his children as we speak, at all. Indeed, Yul told his daughter that their mother is making more money than him now. Can you imagine? So you are going into polygamy and you can’t take care of the children? So please don’t compare the two.”
