Nigeria — The estranged wife of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, May Edochie, has taken legal action against her former lawyer, Emeka Ugwuonye, accusing him of cyberbullying, defamation, and cyberstalking.
In a cease-and-desist notice issued through her legal team, Graylaw Partners, May alleged that Ugwuonye had repeatedly published damaging posts about her on social media.
According to the letter, his actions went beyond defamation, amounting to ridicule, harassment, and malicious attacks that endangered her safety.
“These posts are a calculated assault on our client’s reputation and have further imperiled her safety through malicious threats and false allegations.
Beyond your own publications, you have incited third parties to amplify these communications, causing her severe and irreparable harm.”
As part of her demands, May requested that Ugwuonye immediately halt all defamatory publications, retract the posts already made, and issue a public apology across all his platforms.
May is also seeking ₦1 billion in damages as compensation for the alleged harm caused.
The notice warned that failure to comply could result in further legal proceedings.
