Eculaw firm, the legal team of May Edochie, the estranged wife of Yul Edochie, has revealed that the Nollywood actor, denied getting married to Judy Austin, his second wife.
Recall that Mr Yul has been in the eye of the storm after he unveiled Austin as his second wife in April 2022.
He also announced their first child together, to the surprise of everyone.
Yul reportedly denied getting married to Austin in a statement in response to a lawsuit lodged against him by his ex-wife, May Edochie.
May Edochie accused her husband of adultery and filed for divorce.
Meanwhile, Yul in response to the lawsuit told the court that his connection with Judy Austin was all about skitmaking.
He stated that there is no legally recognized union between them.
May’s legal team, headed by Emeka Ugwuonye, the founder of Due Process Advocates, said in a statement that the ongoing case at the FCT High Court in Abuja, scheduled for a hearing on March 5, suffered an unexpected setback when the court session did not proceed, which Yul and Judy claimed credit for.
Ugwuonye said Yul wrote in his petition, “That since the news of the birth of Star in June 2021, Gistlover, as a negative blog that thrives in fake and manipulated information for financial gains, has been negatively exploiting every movie or skit featuring me and Judy and generating social media traffic for financial gains.”
He added that May’s petition mentioned a supposed traditional marriage ceremony between Yul and Judy on April 24, 2022, in Anambra State.
However, Yul refuted the claim, accusing a blogsite of spreading fake information for financial gain.
