Controversial Nollywood actor Yul Edochie and his first wife May’s divorce has piqued the interest of Nigerians after a new development.
According to a report from Due Process Advocates aka DPA Organisation headed by Emeka Ugwuonye, Yul’s lawyer was not in court on May 7, 2024, for the divorce proceedings.
It was gathered that the trial could not go on after Yul and Judy Austin’s lawyer wrote a letter to the court stating that he was unwell and would not be able to attend.
DPA Organisation revealed further that Yul was however present in court but without his lawyer and a hearing could not be held as a result.
His post reads in part:
“Today in court, Mr. Yul Edochie was present, but without his counsel, he court could not hear any substantive matter. A new date has been set in June. We are all concerned about the delays and protraction of this case. But we remain confident that justice will be done in due course by this court.
As you know, several issues are involved: from the activities of the parties in the social media, to the welfare of the children, to the issues of marital properties, safety of May, and the final status of the marriage itself.”
