May Edochie Divorce Trial: Absence of Yul and Judy Austin's Lawyer reportedly stalls court hearing

May Edochie is standing firm in her refusal to accept Yul Edochie's polygamous arrangement, and the drama is now playing out in the courtroom. Despite Yul's attempt to 'legitimize' his affair with Judy Austin by tying the knot, May is determined to cut ties with her cheating husband. The legal battle is heating up, with Yul and Judy's lawyer accused of using every trick in the book to stall the proceedings, like a master puppeteer manipulating the strings. The online community is abuzz with speculation and outrage, eagerly awaiting the next plot twist in this salacious tale of love, betrayal, and heartbreak.

The ongoing divorce proceedings between Yul Edochie and his estranged wife May have recently seen a surprising twist.
Reports indicate that during a court session, Yul Edochie appeared without legal representation, causing a temporary halt in the proceedings.
This development sparked a flurry of reactions online, with many netizens expressing curiosity about May’s current situation and well-being amidst this legal drama.

The divorce saga between the controversial Nollywood actor Yul Edochie and his first wife May has captured the attention of Nigerians following a recent intriguing development.

As reported by Due Process Advocates (DPA) Organization led by Emeka Ugwuonye, Yul Edochie attended the divorce proceedings on May 7, 2024, without his legal counsel present in court.

The trial was reportedly halted when Yul Edochie and Judy Austin’s lawyer submitted a letter to the court citing illness and his inability to attend the proceedings. This unexpected turn of events caused a delay in the trial.

According to additional information from the DPA Organisation, Yul Edochie was indeed present in court; however, he appeared without his lawyer, which prevented the scheduled hearing from taking place.

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.”

This is coming weeks after Due Process Advocates (DPA), had reported that there were plans to file a bigamy case against Yul Edochie. However, May, his first wife, was not supportive of pursuing legal action.

Information gathered indicates that bigamy being a criminal offense, can be prosecuted in court, potentially resulting in imprisonment for the offender. The Due Process Advocates (DPA) highlighted that May Edochie expressed concerns about the possibility of Yul Edochie being incarcerated and refused to pursue the matter further, as she did not want the father of her children to be arrested.
