EKO HOT BLOG reports that May Yul-Edochie, the wife of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, has issued a notice of intention to sue an Instagram user for superimposing her husband’s new wife, Judy Austin, into a family Christmas photo of May and her children.

The incident took place in December 2022, when May shared a photo of her and her children on her Instagram page.

According to the legal document filed by May’s lawyer, the Instagram user, Sarah Chukwukere, edited the photo to depict May as a member of a polygamous family, which May has publicly stated she does not condone.

May’s lawyers have demanded that Sarah apologizes and retracts her defamatory publication. If she fails to do so, May’s lawyers have threatened to commence a lawsuit against Sarah and demand damages of not less than 500 million Naira.

May has also warned in her Instagram caption that anyone exhibiting similar behaviour in the future will face legal action from her lawyers.

This news has generated a lot of buzz on social media, and it remains to be seen what the outcome of the legal proceedings will be.
