Media personality Roby Ekpo has responded to the cease-and-desist notice issued by his estranged wife, Mayowa Lambe.
Mayowa, through her lawyers, had demanded that Ekpo stop publishing what she described as defamatory statements, remove related content across his platforms, issue a public retraction and apology, and pay ₦100 million in damages.

The legal action followed Ekpo’s appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast, where he accused his estranged wife of infidelity, deception, and financial strain during their marriage of over a decade.
In a response filed by his lawyers on Thursday, April 23, Ekpo denied any wrongdoing and maintained that his statements were based on personal experiences.
“Our client maintains that any statement made by him, whether privately or on public platforms, were based on his personal experiences, understanding of events and matters he reasonably believes to be true,” the response read in part.
His legal team also described the demand for ₦100 million in damages as excessive and unfounded.
“Your demands, particularly the request for N100,000,000.00 in damages are viewed as excessive, unfounded, and premature,” the letter stated.
Ekpo’s lawyers further indicated that he is ready to defend himself legally if the matter proceeds.
“Our Client is prepared to join issues with your client before a court of competent jurisdiction,” the response added.
The letter also hinted at a broader dimension, stating that aspects of Mayowa’s communication could be used in a petition to authorities in the United States.
“Your letter contains an admission of some of Our Client’s claims, and he reserves the right to admit it in evidence in his petition to the appropriate US government authorities, including the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services,” the document stated.
Ekpo’s legal team also faulted the timeline given in the cease-and-desist notice, describing the two-day ultimatum as unreasonable.
They argued that the nature of the dispute involves contested facts and, therefore, requires more time for proper legal engagement.
