Mayowa Lambe issues Roby Ekpo cease-and-desist notice
The development followed a cease-and-desist notice earlier issued by Mayowa Lambe to her estranged husband.
Through her lawyers, she 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 came after Ekpo’s appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast, where he made allegations about their marriage, including claims of infidelity, deception, and financial strain.
Ekpo stands by his claims
In response, Ekpo, through his legal team, denied any wrongdoing and insisted his comments were based on personal experiences.
His lawyers also described the ₦100 million demand as excessive and premature, adding that he was ready to defend his position.
The introduction of a US-based lawyer has now expanded the dispute, especially with the mention of possible communication with US authorities.
