- Lawyer Emeka Ugwuonye has withdrawn from representing May Edochie in her divorce case with Yul Edochie.
- The decision was announced through a statement from his law firm, Due Process Advocates
- Ugwuonye cited ongoing online harassment from May Edochie’s fanbase, known as “May Nation,” as the reason for his withdrawal.
In a surprising development, lawyer Emeka Ugwuonye has announced his decision to cease legal representation for actress and businesswoman May Edochie in her ongoing divorce case with Nollywood star Yul Edochie.
Ugwuonye, through a statement released by his law firm, Due Process Advocates (DPA), attributed his withdrawal to sustained online harassment allegedly orchestrated by May’s fanbase, widely referred to as “May Nation.”
The statement, which was notably direct, highlighted the severity of the situation:
“The relentless bullying and trolling from supporters presumed to be backing Queen May have created a deeply troubling ethical and professional environment for DPA and our team.”
According to the lawyer, the hostile conduct from some of May’s followers made it impossible for his firm to continue offering quality legal support. He also disclosed that his staff had faced more intense abuse from May’s supporters than they had ever received from Yul Edochie’s camp.
