Lawyer Quits May Edochie’s Divorce Case Citing ‘Persistent Bullying’

The legal team that is now defending May Edochie in her divorce dispute with Yul Edochie, DPA Family Clinic, has declared that it is dropping out of the case.

May requested N100 million in damages in 2023 when she filed for divorce from Yul Edochie.

This came after the actor revealed in April 2022 that Judy Austin was his second wife.

A recent Facebook statement from the law firm said that because of the “hostility” of some members of the “May Nation” organization, its services to May have “come to an end.”

The safety and welfare of its employees has become a top priority, DPA emphasized.

According to the statement, DPA employees had experienced “persistent bullying and trolling” from May’s fans as well as from Yul and Judy’s supporters.

The statement says, “We can no longer continue to have effective representation because of the hostile environment created by some members of the “May Nation” group.”

Taking action against the bullies of Queen May becomes extremely challenging from an ethical standpoint when her own fans show just as much, if not more, animosity. Therefore, we were forced to get out.

The ongoing harassment and trolling that comes from Queen May’s alleged followers poses a serious operational and moral dilemma for DPA and our employees.

For this reason, I am unable to continue sending our hardworking staff—young men and women—into these instances with integrity. After already suffering similar attacks from Yul’s fans, they are now subjected to regular harassment by May’s supporters.

“The amount of funding needed for our representation is irreconcilable with Queen May’s incapacity to significantly impact this increasingly divisive segment of her fans. Since our employees are people, it is my ultimate responsibility to ensure their welfare.

May was a “victim of marital abuse and betrayal,” according to DPA, which also denounced Yul’s behavior in the marriage and pledged to work with her new representation.

A lawsuit against “Judy Obasiyul Autism,” the purported mastermind behind the attacks on its employees, was also announced by the law firm.

It is important to clarify that Yul, with Judy’s help, is solely responsible for the series of events that culminate in the confrontation between Queen May and Yul. According to DPA, Queen May is entitled to justice and social protection.

“The disagreement was caused by Yul and Judy’s activities, which DPA condemns. DPA’s opposition to forced polygamy stems from our commitment to gender equality.

When Queen May appoints successor representatives, DPA will collaborate with her staff to transfer our work to them. Most importantly, we still have a duty to safeguard our client’s best interests both during and after withdrawal.

We hope that Queen May wins. She is a truly exceptional person. If her new representatives have any queries about our previous work, we are still available to her and willing to work with them.

“DPA will take legal action against the purported leader of “May Nation,” disguised as “Judy Obasiyul Autism,” irrespective of who they are going forward.”
