The lawyer alleged that Yul deceitfully asked May and the children to leave Enugu and relocate to Lagos, citing safety concerns in the East — a claim the lawyer now questions.
According to Emeka Ugwuonye, Yul allegedly used the relocation to live a double life, by claiming that May abandoned him to gain sympathy from Judy Austin and build a relationship with her.
Recounting a pivotal moment, the lawyer narrated Yul’s car accident in 2019 and how the actor forcefully stopped May from flying to Enugu to be by his side.
The legal adviser claimed that it was a deliberate move to prevent May from finding out about his affair with Judy, who was with him during his recovery.
Emeka Ugwuonye highlighted that his team has closely examined the timeline of events and personal accounts of each party involved, and thoroughly interviewed May to understand what truly happened behind the scenes.
"Yul Edochie is completely responsible for the issues in his marriage. This is something many people don’t realize. After seeing messages about Yul's accident in 2019, I felt it was important to speak up about the truth.
"Although some of the public anger is directed at Judy Austin, she is actually a victim of Yul’s lies and manipulation. Judy’s mistake was not recognizing the game Yul was playing. Once she figured it out, she chose to go along with it.
"Yul created an opportunity to cheat on his wife, May, by moving his family from Enugu to Lagos. He claimed that they needed to move because the East was unsafe. While this made sense at the time, it becomes questionable when you consider that Yul's father, Pete Edochie, never left Enugu. So, safety could not be the reason.
"After relocating to Lagos, Yul began spending a lot of time in Enugu. He said it was for making movies, claiming his fans and the types of films he made required him to be in the East. This wasn't true at all, and it contradicted his reason for moving his family. If Enugu was dangerous for May and the kids, why was it safe for him and Judy and his parents? With May and the kids in Lagos and Yul spending time in Enugu, he set up a situation where he could live a double life without May knowing. He could have relationships with Judy without May finding out. Yul also created the impression that May didn’t care about him. People who didn’t know why May and the kids weren't with Yul might think that May was neglecting her marriage."

"Unfortunately, many married men lie about their marriages, telling the gullible ladies that they have marital issues. My problem is, how can a responsible and knowledgeable woman believe that a grown man would be living under the same roof with a woman that he’s no longer married to, and you believe him? As a marriage counsellor, I 🥲🥲have heard it all."

"Unfortunately Judy actions suggest the opposite, so I can never make excuses for Judy , she was fully aware the man is married with kids. She was desperate to be numbered. Making excuses for her is just as making excuses for Yul ."

"Judy is not the only woman who is married to another person's husband at the moment. You will go to Maria Benjamin's picture and shower her with praises and come to Judy to rain mockery on her. Nigerians leave Judy alone and focus on the poor economy."

Nwodaku Okpome said:
"So it was a deliberate act of Yul to marry a second wife. He pushed May out of the way to marry Judy and forced May to accept polygamy; an indirect way of pushing her to leave. I am happy May left. You can’t force love. It’s well."
